About this event
Innovation rarely happens in isolation. It emerges when different perspectives meet: when the experience and scale of established companies meet the agility, creativity and ambition of startups.
This session brings together voices from across the José de Mello Group to share practical insights, lessons learned and best practices on how to build meaningful partnerships, navigate challenges and turn collaboration into real value.
From identifying the right opportunities to creating the conditions for pilots, partnerships and growth, this is a space to explore what works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to innovate together.
Speaker:
João Mil-Homens is the Innovation and Sustainability Director at the José de Mello Group, where he helps shape the Group’s approach to innovation and collaboration with startups.
With:
- Daniela Gonçalves, Head of Group Strategic Innovation at Brisa Group
- Catarina Moreira, Head of Innovation at CUF
Both bring extensive hands-on experience running pilots with startups in the mobility and healthcare sectors.
Join us for a conversation on the future of corporate innovation and what it takes to make corporate-startup partnerships work.
