Dear Builder,

When we discuss approaching opportunities, there are two different perspectives you can choose to seek: chasing the opportunities or attracting them - which represents a significant difference.

🐝 ‘Don’t waste your time chasing bees; mend your garden, and the bees will come’. By investing effort into cultivating to one’s own pursuits, one will attract positive outcomes.

We like to think with a long-term vision, embracing a notion of self-improvement and skills development, which is essential for attracting promising opportunities. In this context, we are about to host the Innov4Mobility Winter School, aimed to BSc students with different backgrounds. This School will provide an immersive and dynamic experience for talented young people to acquire the necessary skills to face the challenges of urban mobility with an entrepreneurial mindset, promoting their creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving skills and proactivity - they will be future innovators!

From February 12th to 16th, we will receive 35 participants from different RIS Countries, like Italy, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, Poland and Portugal, in the city of Aveiro, recognized as an EIC Rising Innovative City. 🤝

As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming school we're reminded of the power of education to shape minds and boost career opportunities. Stay tuned for more updates!

Sustainability in Action 🌱

To emphasize the nomenclature of EIC Rising Innovative City...

🚢  Aveiro designed the first 100% eletric ferryboat of the Iberian Peninsula - Salicórnia - which will enter into regular and normal operation this week.

By replacing the fuel-powered ferry, the system not only reduces energy consumption by around 30% but also eliminates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

We're thrilled to choose Aveiro as the inaugural host city for Innov4Mobility Winter School, empowering young entrepreneurs to drive innovation in the mobility sector.
