Innovation is a creative, transformative process that promotes
paradigmatic break, even partial, positively impacting quality of life
and human development.
We want to help you transform your community,
market and products, by empowering citizens and fostering happy people.
Innovation is not necessarily a disruptive process, but most of all
is the wish to improve, evolve and bring new assets.
It is good if
innovation brings economic and financial gains but without forgetting
societal gains - we can only have a strong economy or a strong business
model if we are impacting on people.
So, if you are working only for
society, let us help you to find the right business opportunities and
models. If you are financial successful but you now want to give back,
we can also assist you to find good purposes for your investment, by
translating your business innovation into society gains.
In summary, we can work with you on:
Learning organizations and groups are able to create and transfer
knowledge as well as modify their behaviours to reflect this new
knowledge.
We develop tailor-made and highly specialized training, to
different stakeholders and in diverse levels, completely adjusted to
needs and goals.
We don't mean to provide padronized or common training, nor compete with
training centers. SHINE will only target specific niches and
shortcomings, where highly specialized or focused training contents may
be provided, namely by international benchmarking, bringing different
experts together.
The other target of the training services of SHINE is participating in
the development of training materials, packages and tools that are
connected to its areas of interest and may be a crucial instrument to
the implementation of its vision.

Individuals and organizations need to obtain, improve, and retain
the skills, knowledge and other resources needed for evolving. But we go
further, promoting social and behavioural change that leads to
infrastructure and sustainable development also by understanding its
obstacles.
Community capacity building intends to develop and strengthen skills,
abilities, processes and resources that individuals, organizations and
communities need to adapt to the emerging changes and be able to evolve

to change, having as ultimate goal the changing needs of the population
that is served or the connection with the last market trends, depending
on the organisation's nature.

No initiative or business grows without a solid network of
stakeholders, partners and reliable organisations around it. It is many
times difficult for social entrepreneurs, NGOs or SMEs to know who are
the right people to approach when trying to develop, disseminate,
transfer or implement an innovative idea, project or solution.
SHINE's team has a large network, both inside Portugal as also in the European landscape, in all the key areas we work in.
We can connect you to policy makers, research & academic experts,
companies, business incubators and investors, health & social care
providers, patients, citizens and NGOs.
Our networking services include possibilities such as direct contacts,
organisations of thematic or expert meetings, events, conferences and
study visits.
Connection to major networks, national and international, and provision
of updated and most relevant resources, studies and publications are
also assets for you and your organisation.
