INESC Ecosystem
One ecosystem, five institutes, shared ambition
INESC was founded in 1980 and has established itself as a role model in the University-Industry relationship. INESC was the first institution in Portugal to demonstrate that through concrete support to sectoral and territorial economic development, research and innovation activities are a crucial element. The value of the activity conducted by INESC led to its recognition as a public utility institution in 1987. INESC´s holding associates are: Higher Technical Institute (IST), Portugal Telecom (PT) Group, University of Lisbon (ULisboa), University of Porto (UP), University of Coimbra (UC) and Correios de Portugal, S.A. (CTT).
