From July 19 to 21, 2017 I had the pleasure of conducting a Design Thinking workshop in Mateus, Vila Real. UTAD was the promoter of this course through the LAB2Business project and the Casa de Mateus Foundation organized and hosted the sessions.
This was a project aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in the region, as well as strengthening the link between companies, centers of knowledge and research, creative and cultural agents.
I was pleased to work with a multidisciplinary group on a practical dimension of research into the characteristics and needs of a low density region and to design projects and strategies that could provide tools to respond to the risks and opportunities of the companies that carry out their work in the region.
