The winners of the 2025 ISEG ESG Award were on stage at the Web Summit Lisbon, on Thursday, 13 November, at the world's largest innovation and technology event, to share their ideas and reflections on the role of business and academia in building more sustainable cities.
The “Lisboa Sustainable Minds: Shaping a Greener Future for Business - What if companies could shape the future of cities through ESG?”session, moderated by Professor Winnie Picoto, Vice-Dean of ISEG, gave visibility to the talent and vision of the students who represented ISEG at this highly prestigious event.
This moment underlines the importance of the link between academic work in sustainability and its application in the real world, demonstrating how the knowledge produced in universities can support companies and other organisations in responding to the environmental, social and governance challenges that are of unavoidable relevance today. The participation of our students in the Web Summit highlights the real impact of ISEG's research and its contribution to concrete solutions that inspire sustainable transformation.
Special thanks to the students Madalena Santos, Miguel Lopes and Joana Ramos, to Prof. Winnie Picoto, to Gabriel Londe Medeiros, to Maria João, to Nuno Caleia and Paula Alves of the Lisboa Sustentável-Empresas Platform of the Lisbon City Council, and to Pedro Fonseca and Catarina Pedrinho from NTT DATA, great partners thus far, for the involvement and dedication that made this moment of sharing and inspiration possible.
