About HiTech:

HiTech is HiSeedTech’s hands-on programme for research teams developing deep-tech projects in Portugal.

The programme combines two complementary tracks:

• Technology Push: for research teams looking to explore the commercial potential of their own deep-tech projects.
• Market Pull: for research teams interested in applying their knowledge and technologies to real-world challenges proposed by HiSeedTech Associates.

Participation in HiTech is free of charge for selected teams.
