FLAD and IPN Promote Collaboration between Johns Hopkins University Students and Incubated Startups

The Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN) received a group of international students from the Master of Science in Engineering Management at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (USA), as part of a partnership with the Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD).

Between January 6 and 14, 2026, students attended an intensive course integrated in IPN’s business ecosystem. Throughout this experience, they worked together with three incubated startups — Present Technologies, Takinobori and Flowbotic — developing activities focused on analyzing their business models and their positioning in the market.

This initiative allowed a close contact with the innovation ecosystem of the Pedro Nunes Institute, providing a practical understanding of the functioning and dynamics of the companies based there. The program ended with final presentations, in which the students presented the results of the work carried out during the course.
