From 25 to 27 June 2024, Porto hosted the IEEE MELECON 2024 international forum, an event highlighting emerging technologies in the field of electrical engineering. As one of the flagship conferences of IEEE Region 8, the event brought together researchers and professionals from various areas of electrical engineering, providing a stage for the presentation of innovative design methodologies, techniques, and experimental results.
“From Lab Bench to Launch Pad”
INOV played a leading role at IEEE MELECON 2024, not only as the event’s Golden Patron, but also through the active participation of Engineer Fernando Moreira, President of the Institute, in the “IEEE6: Panel: From Lab Bench to Launch Pad” panel. This session was critical, given that INOV is a Technology and Innovation Centre (CTI) dedicated to the transfer of knowledge and technology in the areas of ICT & Electronics. The panel focussed on discussing the paths to transforming an initial idea or innovation into an innovative product or service for the market, reflecting the challenges and strategies necessary for success in this process.
