The program concludes with a Demo Day, where the projects will be presented to investors, universities, companies, and innovation ecosystem entities.

Two prizes of two thousand euros will be distributed, sponsored by HealthTech Lisboa and CNS – Campus Neurológico, as well as one year of free incubation at Lispolis for the four finalists.

CVRA accuses the State of failing to control imported wine: "In whose name and why?"

The Regional Alentejo Wine Commission (CVRA), led by Luís Sequeira, accused the Portuguese State of not ensuring effective control over bulk imported wine, pointing to an accumulated difference of about 690 million liters over seven years between INE import data and volumes identified by the IVV as introduced for consumption. The responsible party demands that the Government immediately centralize the current accounts of bulk wine operators in the Wine and Vine Information System, applying the same model already successfully used for certified wines. The CVRA is not opposed to imports, but defends that identical rules should exist for all operators and monitoring mechanisms for imported wine, warning that tens of thousands of national wine growers are being harmed by unfair competition, mainly from Spain.

TST determines that Correios workers maintain 80% of staff during strike

The Superior Labor Court partially granted Correios' request and declared the workers' strike abusive, determining that unions maintain 80% of staff active in all units, including service, transportation, distribution, and administrative areas. The decision requires that the percentage be measured individually in each unit, shift, and activity, without compensation between different areas. Correios had filed a lawsuit requesting the declaration of abusiveness and the opening of collective bargaining due to lack of agreement on salary adjustment, whose judgment is scheduled for September 21.
