On 25 September, at the invitation of the Coimbra Region Intermunicipal Association (CIM), BIO4EST presented its business project at HIESE to 20 participants from Portugal, Finland, Poland and Greece, as part of the European FISSH project – Food, Innovation for Sustainability and Smart Horizons, funded by Interreg Europe.

On 23 September, BIO4EST took part in the second edition of XISTO Talks, on the theme of “Leading in Times of Crisis and Uncertainty”, at the Lousã Municipal Theatre. The event focused on the business experiences of various national leaders, including Paulo Lobo of Socigene and Ricardo Pereira, founder of PHC Software, amongst others.

On 20 May, Francisco Guerreiro, founder and CEO of BIO4EST, was a speaker at the showcase event for the start-ups incubated at HIESE. The aim of the event was to bring the incubated projects together and demonstrate the potential for partnerships between companies from various sectors of the economy.

BIO4EST took part in the initiative ‘Climate Change and ESG: Challenges for the Agri-Food Sector’, organised in partnership with TecMinho at the Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN).

In December BIO4EST participated in Penela in the Missão Inversa event, promoted by CGEO / CIM-RC, to present its ecosystem regeneration and voluntary carbon market project in Portugal.

There is a cliché, widely used especially by populists, which says that in the United States innovation happens, in China things are copied, and in the European Union things are regulated.
