NOVA is committed to promote knowledge-based and high-impact value creation activities through collaborations with society and industry. 

This platform works as a “one–stop–shop” within the University, where NOVA’s technologies and advanced services are showcased, and where the NOVA community can access and be informed about the main initiatives related to innovation and entrepreneurship. The NOVA Innovation digital platform ensures a virtual existence of the main NOVA’s value creation hubs and initiatives related to the University’s Third Mission.  

It has the dual function of internal and external visibility: it aggregates the main information and opportunities related to entrepreneurship, intellectual property, research commercialisation and university-industry collaborations for the NOVA’s student and research communities, whilst also being the gateway for potential investors, companies, and other non-academic institutions wishing to collaborate or acquire NOVA technologies or specialized services.
