Last Friday, 24 January 2025, the headquarters of GreenHub by Unicorn Factory Lisbon hosted a special visit.
A group of students from the Portuguese Catholic University, representing various master's degree courses such as Management, Economics and Data Management, explored the centre dedicated to green technology solutions and entrepreneurship.
GreenHub is recognised as a catalyst for the green economy and net-zero goals, connecting emerging global challenges with innovative solutions in sectors such as energy, mobility and construction. This space, located at Rua Doutor Eduardo Neves, 9 (3rd floor), brings together forward-thinking companies and startups, fostering a dynamic green technology community.
Workshop with master's students from Universidade Católica Portuguesa at Critical DOJO. 24 JAN 2025
A Transformative Learning Experience
The visit gave the students an in-depth look at the companies that make up the GreenHub community. During the tour, the students were able to learn about the solutions developed by these organisations, reflecting the potential for collaboration between academia and the market.
Among the highlights, Maria Bike, one of the GreenHub's resident companies, played a central role in the visit. The company, known for its innovation in the electric mobility sector, was assigned to accompany the group of students. In addition, Maria Bike presented a special briefing, which led to a practical workshop in the newly opened Critical DOJO space.
Workshop at Critical DOJO
Critical DOJO, conceived and managed by Critical Software, is one of the most recent additions to GreenHub. This innovative space, which opened the week before the visit, is designed to foster creativity and collaboration in multidisciplinary projects.
During the workshop, the students from the Catholic University of Lisbon took part in practical activities guided by the Maria Bike team. The aim was to stimulate the exchange of ideas and develop creative solutions to challenges related to sustainable mobility, strengthening the connection between academia and the business sector.
A New Generation of Talent for the Green Economy
This visit reflects GreenHub by Unicorn Factory Lisboa's commitment to fostering partnerships between academia and the private sector, creating opportunities for future leaders to contribute to a more sustainable world. The interaction between the students and resident companies, such as Maria Bike, highlighted GreenHub's role as a bridge between contemporary challenges and positive impact solutions.
With initiatives like this, GreenHub continues to reinforce its mission to catalyse the green economy and inspire a new generation of professionals to build a sustainable future.
