The University of Porto is strongly committed to promoting and strengthening the innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem of the city and the region in which it is embedded.
Within the scope of this mission, the U.Porto Spin-off seal was created, an initiative aimed at recognizing companies that emerge from the University of Porto’s business, research, and innovation ecosystems.

The Circle was created with the intention of connecting and inspiring U.Porto spin-offs. It does so with the support of its network partners: Caixa Geral de Depósitos, Porto City Council, UPTEC, Porto Business School, and AICEP.
