Montepio Acredita Portugal

We understand the importance of innovation and making a difference. So, KCS IT became Venture Partner of Montepio Acredita Portugal – a nonprofit organization responsible for the largest entrepreneurship event in Europe.

We work so every person might follow their enterprising dreams and will to innovate.

That is why we launched the K.Tech Prize, targeted at new information technology projects and their implementation in conventional business areas.

Everyone who has an idea to carry out or an ongoing project that needs a boost may submit their application free of charge.

The idea will then be subject to assessment and establishment of a business plan. Semi-finalists will receive guidance from a KCS IT team member for project development and assessment of its digital format.

Winning projects will have a chance to establish strategic partnerships with a view to being implemented in the market, specifically receiving a flextime schedule for applying best practices.
