New companies and organisations
Created in 2006, Mentortec is the result of the expansion, development, and market diversification strategy of its parent company, INOVA+. Our experience in applying for national and European programmes, as well as supporting the implementation and coordination of national and European projects, strengthens Mentortec’s ability to provide high-performance incubation and acceleration services. We promote digital entrepreneurship, with a vast portfolio of advised start-ups and countless success stories.
We are a national leader in innovation consultancy, incubation – physical and virtual – and support for the growth of new projects, with consultancy services in several areas. We have already supported the creation and development of more than 30 new companies and organisations, from start-ups to international institutions, such as the ESNA – European Startup Nation Alliance, a community body based in Lisbon.
We are also a benchmark in training management as an organisation certified by DGERT, and in lifelong education and training, being among the national organisations with the highest number of projects in the ERASMUS+ community initiative.
