Conference Sustainability and Business Innovation: Pathways to Competitiveness

The conference “Sustainability and Business Innovation: Pathways to Competitiveness” brings together professionals responsible for sustainability, both in the business context and in the public sector, who present different perspectives on integrating sustainability into innovation strategies and value creation.

The session explores how organisations can strengthen their competitiveness through sustainable practices, emerging technologies and more responsible management models.

Following the initial presentations, a round table will take place, providing a space for debate and joint reflection between participants and the audience, allowing for an in-depth discussion of challenges, opportunities and trends in the current context.

This session is part of a management sharing cycle, which aims to promote reflection and the exchange of experiences on current and relevant topics in the field of management, bringing academia and the business world closer together.
