My organisation

ANI is the Portuguese National Innovation Agency. Its mission is to promote knowledge transfer through greater and better collaboration and cooperation between enterprises and the research & knowledge production institutions. ANI’s mandate is to promote innovation through research funding. ANI is assumed as “The Innovation Hub” that embodies the growing alignment of the R&D, Innovation and Technology-based Entrepreneurship policies in the areas of science and economy, with the main function to promote knowledge transfer, in particular through more and better cooperation and coordination between companies and R&I institutions. ANI is responsible for the coordination of the activities of the Horizon Europe NCPs for Pillars 2 and 3, including Missions and partnerships, and also hosts the NCPs and Delegates to the Horizon Europe Programme. If you are looking for a Portuguese partner for the upcoming Horizon Europe 2025 calls, I would be happy to help.
