In January 2018, the ENTER programme formally became the responsibility of Altice Labs, as well as the space associated with it, at Rua da Moeda no. 7, in Lisbon.
ENTER is thus an integral part of Altice Labs Open Innovation programme, whose goal is to promote the relationship and partnership with national and international Startups that develop products or services in areas of interest to the Altice group.
Since the beginning of 2018, there have been 40 events in the ENTER space, with the presence of 1099 participants, where some events in the area of entrepreneurship and product creation stood out, namely the conference “Startups for Scale-ups”, the workshop “IoT & Google Assistant” and the presence of an entourage of entrepreneurs from Macao, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
The conference “Startups for Scale-ups – Gaining scale in the digital economy”, was attended by 60 people and speakers Álvaro Pinto (Aptoide), André Matias de Almeida (Albuquerque & Associates), Carlos Silva (Seedrs), João Vasconcelos ( Clearwater International), Miguel Cordeiro (Media Invest Group) and Eurico Brilhante Dias (Secretary of State for Internationalization). The main purpose of the Portugal Agora project is to present a strategic vision for Portugal based on 3 aspects: social, economic and political.
Rafael Evaristo, from the Makers Movement, held a workshop on IoT & Google Assistant. The Makers Movement – Portugal aims to stimulate the sharing of ideas and knowledge, raising doubts on issues related to the development of new ideas / prototypes. The 43 participants were able to learn for free how to start their first project with a Raspberry Pi, and how to integrate it with Google’s IoT platform thus putting the sensors to send information to a server, so that it can be analyzed in the future.
Finally, on the 7th February, the ENTER programme received a group of entrepreneurs from Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai, an ANJE initiative, from which a WE’BIZ Talk on “Scaling Up: How to build winner products” was held. The 20 members of the delegation met the startups incubated in the ENTER, promoting in this way bilateral business opportunities and cooperation.
With the ENTER space, Altice Labs reinforces its position in Open Innovation and creation and value together with national and international partners.
