The nine projects that will enhance the Colina do Castelo neighborhood
On a sunny day in mid-July, the Mouraria Creative Hub hosted the exciting HUB-IN Experience. This event marked the official launch of the nine innovative projects developed under the HUB-IN Lisbon Acceleration Programme.
The HUB-IN Experience was a journey through innovation and creativity. Community members, mentors, and stakeholders were eager to engage with the entrepreneurs and their pioneering projects.
Let’s have a closer look at them:

- Conversational Kiosks foster the power of social innovation through unexpected conversations.
- A Colina do Bem Estar strives to enhance well-being in Colina do Castelo.

It was an inspiring glimpse into the future of the Colina do Castelo, driven by the passion and commitment of its new wave of entrepreneurs.
