This initiative, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to sustainability, aims to explore and address the challenges of the green economy and sustainability through interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering creativity and innovation for future cities and communities. The program is divided into three different areas: Carbon Neutrality & Net Zero, Urban Living, Proximity & Community Journey Services and Construction, Infrastructure & Architecture, couting with Banco Primus, Cascais City Council, ACA Group, Brisa Group, Jerónimo Martins/Pingo Doce, LTPLabs, MoraisLeitão, Schréder, and SIBS as partners companies.

The Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem accelerator program entails intensive months of collaboration between participants and partner companies,with two registration phases: the first one, currently underway, is tailored for startups and SMEs, and the second, starting on April 15, is open to students and researchers.

A Sharing Day is scheduled for July 2nd, offering all participants an opportunity to present their achievements and insights gained throughout the program.

Insect pollinators are a key element for the equilibrium of the ecosystems that surround us, and bees are an important subgroup because they are responsible for pollinating around 60 to 70 % of the world's total flowering plant species.
