Following the example of previous years, INESC Porto,
through the Portuguese Innovation Centre, was present at the
IRC Future Match brokerage which took place in Hannover for
CeBIT 2006 and was put together by the Innovation Relay
Centres.
This great event of technology transfer welcomed 517
international companies that presented 739 technological
profiles in the areas of ICTs.
Nancy Smith, responsible for the organisation of the
event, considers the Portuguese participation in Future
Match to be really good. She stands out that “the Portuguese
Innovation Centre always brings a great number of companies
and tries to make the best of their involvement, making sure
the companies have a correct access to the schedules and the
place where the meetings will take place”.
The number of Portuguese companies that participated in
this event has been increasing substantially. In 2005 11
companies presented 14 profiles; in 2006, the Portuguese
Innovation Centre worked with 21 Portuguese companies that
presented 37 technological profiles.
INESC Porto presented six technological offers: five from
the Manufacturing Systems Engineering Unit (a solution of
internal logistics, three Nesting technologies and a
bundling one - EMPAC) and one from the Information and
Communication Systems Unit (content management – SIGDIC ).
EMPAC and SIGDIC profiles were the most demanded. The
Portuguese Innovation Centre’s team is working towards an
establishing of negotiations for transfer of these
technologies.
António Correia Alves and Ana Catarina Monteiro
represented INESC Porto in this event.
