Portugal Centre Region Incubation and Entrepreneurship Network was born in Curia

This initiative, promoted by CEC’s Entrepreneurship and Incubation Department, is a regional forum for strategic reflection on entrepreneurship as well as an instrument to promote interaction and articulation between the Incubators and Technology Parks on the Centre Region.
