FRESH.LAND
Who they are:
A platform that shortens and digitalizes the food supply
chain.
What they do:
By having all the logistics, payment and legal integrated
in their platform. Fresh.Land allows farmers to sell fresh
products directly to the retailers or consumers. This
enables the products to reach the consumer in just 4
days, as opposed to the usual 4 months, which in turn
removes the need for chemicals and surface treatments
the products need to endure these months in
transportation.
GREEN CITY SOLUTIONS
Who they are:
Make people’s lives in cities healthier, by creating
conditions that allow everyone to have clean and cool
breathable air
What they do:
CityTree is a bio-tech filter that improves air quality. This

bind the particulate matter in the air and produce oxygen.

Lisbon City!!!
Epicentre of Portuguese culture, business and politics, and
offers the perfect opportunity to study Economics,
Management and Finance.
Its geographical location represents a priceless advantage.
Mild winters and long summers provide the conditions to
enjoy all that is on offer and make the practice of activities
such as surfing, windsurfing and body boarding possible all
year long.
Accommodation
Average prices in the city center of Lisbon for a room is
420€, however, if you are ok with living outskirts of the
center you can find a room for 250€/350€. You shouldn’t
