Entrepreneurship in Portugal - Short-term Study Abroad
May 10 - May 23, 2022
The purpose of the short-term study trip to Portugal, organized by Dr. Aruna Chandra, was to gain conversancy with the environment for entrepreneurship in Portugal, focusing on the role played by government, universities and the private sector in the creation and growth of new ventures. They also learned about the country’s unique history and culture by experiencing its food, music and culture while learning about and visiting its rich historical sights. Students learned about the micro and macro environments for business in Portugal through a range of visits that provided a window into the successful Portuguese experiment for supporting and growing new ventures.
During the trip the party visited the Lisbon School of Economics and Management meeting with their director of Executive Education, Director of ISEG Executive Education, Filipa Cristovão, and young Portuguese entrepreneurs. They also visited Tec Labs - Centro de Inovação.
The group had the opportunity to visit a Quinta (vertically integrated winery) in Porto to learn about the port wine industry in Porto, its origins, production process and the roots of its unique characteristics.
The group also visited the University of Porto and the Social Business School Casa do Impacto.
