Last Wednesday, ISEG welcomed Miguel Poiares Maduro, Deputy Minister for Regional Development, Franquelim Alves, Member of the Installation Committee of Banco de Fomento, Luís Mira Amaral, CEO of Banco BIC, Vitor da Conceição Gonçalves, Full Professor at ISEG and Rui Leão Martinho, President of the Portuguese Association of Economists, at the seminar "Building Portugal's Competitive Advantages 20 years after the Porter Report", organized as part of the 1st edition of the CEDE executive course - Competitiveness and Strategy for Business Development.
The event was opened by Professor Vitor da Conceição Gonçalves, who addressed the Porter Report and some of the challenges facing the competitiveness of the Portuguese economy, and ended with a videoconference by Prof. Dr. Christian Ketels from the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School.
At the seminar, Mira Amaral gave a general overview of the conditions in which the Porter Report was developed, while the other speakers spoke about the post-report context, particularly what has been done and what remains to be done, bearing in mind the guidelines defined two decades ago and what has been learned in the meantime.
Among the conclusions presented, it seems essential to strengthen national clusters by improving public support policies and collaborative structures to support clusters, in order to contribute to a national strategy aimed at developing the country's competitive advantages in the European and global economy.
The CEDE course - Competitiveness and Strategy for the Development of Companies and Clusters, which will be held in October 2014, aims to contribute to this goal.
