Business Sustainability

After the success, at all levels, of the congress held in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, in October 2023, we are pleased to announce the launch of the 3rd edition of the ISPGAYA congress, under the theme:

Business sustainability: 
Innovation in Entrepreneurship & Internationalisation

The theme of sustainability brings together different perspectives, with innovation aimed at entrepreneurship and the internationalization of business setting the basis for a vision that brings people and the planet closer together. Associating the notions of innovation, development and sustainability facilitates the availability and putting into practice of new ideas, products, methodologies or production designs towards new approaches on economic growth.

An essential role as catalysts of change is upon higher education institutions. A culture of entrepreneurship and innovation must be held, fostering top-down and bottom-up innovation and identifying and participating in national and international innovation networks.

Academic spin-offs must be overlooked along with the creation of mechanisms for the development of internships, dissertations and/or course projects in partnership with companies and institutions in the region. A collaborative local, national and international perspective in the development of knowledge offer is absolutely central on attaining sustainability development goals.
