Eyal Amitai
Short biography
I became CEO of an electronic contract manufacturer in 2005, in 2015 I took it to become a medical device CDMO (contract design & manufacturing organisation) with FDA listing. In 20019 we brought in a PE and in 2021 I brought an outside CEO to take my place, staying as Executive Director until we sold 100% to a large PE in 2023. During my time the company grew from 170 to 1,500 employees and 2 factories in China as well as 1 in Thailand, an R&D centre in Israel and sales in Europe & US.
Main skills
Strategic Planning throughout the pyramid of vision, goals, top level strategy, basic strategy, tactics and operational.
Leadership: managing through internal-entrepreneurs & leadership teams (VPs, EVPs, etc...), leading through inspiration and self-motivation, etc...
Operational Excellence in manufacturing.
Medical/FDA requirements in Manufacturing & Quality Assurance & control
Profitability in complex operating environment
Zero defect manufacturing (it's never zero, but the point is the organisation understands that is a main goal during manufacturing and designs the whole process and support around it)
Sales processes & funnel design
Design for manufacturability
Delegating in leadership
I know the above seems like a lot of capabilities, but running a company for 16 years I had to learn everything and do it relatively well - otherwise the company would not have survived...I also know what it looks like when someone capable is doing it, so this is just a partial list
Areas of interest for mentoring
Young entrepreneurs about to set off, especially from engineering & business background
Mid-level management going into senior management
Perhaps most importantly - new CEOs (within first 2-3 years) - this is a lonely job that is unlike senior management or any other management by an order of magnitude. I've made lots of the mistakes, would like to help others avoid them
Motivation to be a mentor
I became a CEO at 29 years old, I was not prepared, not supported and didn't have resources. Thus, I made a ton of mistakes and suffered over many years until I found my feet. Most of the things that made me much better at my job as CEO aren't rocket science but can be hard to figure out on your own, I'd like to help leaders be better, have more fun being leaders and work more effectively.

Special emphasis is placed on scientists, researchers, and both academic and non-academic staff, aiming to impart insights into the significance of IP in their endeavours and projects, while equipping them with fundamental knowledge on the subject.
Additionally, the event aims to clarify NOVA's academic community on its policies and internal procedures, providing valuable insights into best practices and practical tips.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title="What's it about?" _builder_version="4.24.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}" open="off"]Innovative, passionate, and creative individuals play a fundamental role in propelling progress towards a better and more sustainable future. The safeguarding of intellectual property (IP) becomes paramount in fostering the development of cutting-edge solutions in software and artificial intelligence (AI), with profound societal impacts. Just as in other industries, comprehending the implications and advantages of IP is central in this dynamic field. Intellectual capital thus emerges as a cornerstone in this landscape, underscoring the critical need to grasp the ramifications and benefits of IP.
Within NOVA’s ecosystem, the recognition of impact creation in the software and AI industries is pivotal. To empower researchers and staff in this realm, our workshop delves into the intricacies of IP, offering valuable insights and addressing pertinent questions. Recent technological advancements have birthed innovative tools with diverse applications in software and AI, revolutionizing research paradigms. These advancements usher in novel methods for information exchange among users and developers, along with innovative technical solutions tailored for specific applications.
Throughout the workshop, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of various intellectual property types and their relevance to the software and AI sectors. Practical insights into strategies aimed at safeguarding intellectual property and capitalizing on research outcomes will also be provided.
Real-world case studies and open discussions will allow participants to delve into specific IP challenges faced by academic researchers in the software and AI industries. By the workshop's conclusion, attendees will depart with a heightened appreciation for intellectual property's significance in academic research, armed with practical strategies for safeguarding and commercializing their innovative endeavours.
Participants are invited to bring their own use cases to be discussed.

NOVA and Galp will develop new solutions for clean and renewable energies
NOVA University Lisbon and Galp will promote, over the next three years, the development of new solutions in the field of clean and renewable energies by students, faculty and researchers gathered in the first interdisciplinary community of the University, called "Zero Carbon Energy".
Through a protocol signed this Thursday by the two institutions, NOVA places all its know-how and its community at the service of the industry to find alternatives that can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, through a process of decarbonization, meeting the European Union's goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
In this domain, research projects will be developed in areas such as Renewable Energies, Mobility and Batteries. In the area of innovation and entrepreneurship, the multidisciplinary community of NOVA students and researchers will be called to participate in idea competitions, hackathons and in the development of proofs of concept, in response to challenges launched by Galp aligned with the sustainable development goals.
The protocol signing ceremony was attended, on the side of NOVA, by the Rector, João Sàágua, and the Vice-Rector, Isabel Rocha, and, on the side of Galp, by Georgios Papadimitriou, Member of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee, COO Renewables & New Businesses, and by Ana Casaca, Global Head of Innovation.
Isabel Rocha, Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation and Value Creation, said that "Sustainability is one of the central pillars of NOVA and being able to contribute with our research excellence to find greener alternatives in the energy field is the certainty that we are creating value for our community. It is time for us to act with solutions based on the best science and technology. This is also the role of academia and NOVA in particular".
In turn, Ana Casaca, Global Head of Innovation at Galp, added that "Half of the technologies that will help us decarbonise the world and make the energy transition are not yet known or tested. Collaboration with universities and the expansion of our innovation ecosystem is essential for Galp to overcome these technological challenges, thus being closer to the goal of carbon neutrality in 2050 and the democratisation of sustainable and inclusive energy solutions demanded by society."
In addition to areas related to research and innovation, this protocol will enable the development of joint initiatives in the area of education, as well as the promotion of talent and employment in the energy sector.
