On 9th June, MRG received, at its headquarters in Coimbra, about 70 guests who attended the lecture "INNOVATION - A Vision of the Future in the Present." The event took place in the afternoon and the session was opened by Rodolfo Gouveia, Chairman of the Board of Directors at MRG Construction, with a speech calling for the motivation of all those present to join this initiative of MRG in order to pave the way for exchange of experiences and ideas.
The first speaker, Dr. Luis Fareleiro, shared with the audience his experience as well as the different perspectives inherent to innovation and the need to put it into practice. By the time of the second speaker, Eng.º Sergio Salústio, there was the opportunity to realize how much innovation is important, as well as new doors that it opens when we embrace a new way of looking at the obstacles turning them into opportunities. Finally, and in a very motivating way, another perspective has been presented, this time by Professor John Dionysius, which involved everyone in practical problem solving that, once unraveled, the guests understood the term of innovation, the barriers created unintentionally and the different ways in which to avoid and overcome them.
Finally, there was a space for debate in which the participation was brilliant, resulting in a fantastic exchange of experiences and very interesting conclusions!
We can thus say that this first initiative was a great success and that undoubtedly will be repeated!
We appreciate our beautiful guests, who congratulated us with their presence and participation. A special thanks to the speakers, Dr. Luis Fareleiro, Engineer Sergio Salústio and Prof. John Dionysius and also to all those who contributed to the development of a packed afternoon of good mood! A thank you on behalf of MRG Group!
