The NEM Portugal platform, mirror of the European initiative New European Media, aims to play a key role in the area of Interactive Content & Media and Creative Industries, functioning within the European ecosystem that will make Europe an Innovative Union. NEM Portugal follows a holistic approach, identifying the path to commercial exploration/ exploitation of research and providing strategic support for business opportunities and needs, mobilizing and linking innovation actors in Portugal in order to enable Portuguese companies and stakeholders to achieve a competitive advantage in European and global markets.
The TICE.PT cluster, with the support of ADDICT, originally proposed the creation of NEM Portugal. INESC TEC, as a member of both clusters, carried out the necessary tasks for the launch of NEM Portugal.
