Sponsor of Poliempreende Project Comendador Rui Nabeiro Delta Cafés Business Group For those who like me feel and is understood in society as an entrepreneur, it is with great satisfaction factor that I see the existence of a national project to encourage and develop the entrepreneurial spirit in the academic community. Polytechnic's high education system has to be congratulated on his extraordinary complicity in promoting entrepreneurship, to conceive and launch this innovative and highly qualified project which is the Poliempreende. I would like to enphazise the education component behind it, namely the entrepreneurship curriculum plans that have come to be incremented and that clearly illustrate the importance of learning in this area. We don t born entrepreneurs, We make us entrepreneurs!...
Poliempreende The only Portuguese HEI network that is able to work together with a common goal which is ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION in high education system in Portugal
