Join us for an insightful session with Professor Gustavo Borba from Unisinos University (one of Brazil's top five private universities) who will share key insights from Pacto Alegre, one of the most innovative urban ecosystem initiatives in Brazil. Based in the city of Porto Alegre, Pacto Alegre is a collaborative movement that brings together diverse sectors - government, private industry, and civil society - to develop high-impact projects. Through resource sharing and strategic partnerships, the initiative fosters an environment that drives economic growth and technological advancement by stimulating innovation, investment, and entrepreneurial initiatives. Professor Borba will discuss how this model can create opportunities for partnerships and inspire similar initiatives on a transnational level, including potential collaborations with Unisinos University.
The Centre for Sustainable Impact/Impact Durable (CSIID) aims to advance sustainable business practices that benefit society and the natural environment for generations to come through our research, education, and outreach activities.
