This initiative, carried out in partnership with several institutions in the financial sector, aims to:

• distinguish national companies with a high innovation performance;
• promote public recognition of companies that are an example of value creation for the country;
• create a network of partners that value this distinction, enhancing benefits for recognized companies;
• and ensure better financing conditions.

Companies operating in Portugal with investment in Innovation and with a high level of performance and financial strength can receive this distinction.

The Inovadora Cotec status works as a prestigious seal, allowing companies to obtain advantageous conditions from the financial sector, while at the same time contributing to improve the efficiency of credit risk management in banks.
