PT Innovation Award
Altice Labs materializes the investment of PT and the Altice Group itself in innovation and, at the same time, Portugal’s capacity to export innovation to the world.
It was here, 22 years ago, that PT invented a concept that revolutionized the telecommunications sector and changed forever the way we communicate. Prepaid was born here and is now used by more than 160 million people around the world. We recently announced the creation of a new 100% Portuguese technology that allows the evolution of current fiber optic access speeds to symmetrical speeds of 40 Gbps/40 Gbps up to 80 Gbps/80 Gbps, 16 to 32 times faster than those existing today.
We were the first operator in the world to do so!

Born from Knowledge by ANI
Born from Knowledge by ANI






The PT Innovation Award attributed the “Born from Knowledge” distinction in the scope of a partnership between Altice Labs and the National Innovation Agency (ANI).
This distinction is part of the program with the same name, “Born from Knowledge”, developed jointly by ANI and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education with a view to enhancing scientific and technological knowledge and to promoting and dynamising innovation ecosystems.
In its Startups category, the PT Innovation Award contemplated the “Born from Knowledge” distinction for the best project “born from knowledge” that resulted from research and development (R&D) activities. In the category of finalists of Master’s or PHD’s, three candidates automatically accessed the group of finalists of the ANI’s Born from Knowledge IDEAS Contest, which prizes business ideas also “born from knowledge” and resulting from R&D initiatives
