Gaia stands out at QSP Summit

We are city creators, makers, savers and dreamers translates the municipal universe

The municipal universe of Vila Nova de Gaia, made up of the Chamber, Gaiurb, Águas de Gaia and INOVAGAIA, participated in the 17th edition of the QSP Summit, one of the largest management and marketing events in Europe which, this year, launched the Rethinking Organizations challenge, allowing us to explore and discuss the transformations necessary for organizations to prosper, not only in the current market scenario, but also in the future.

For three consecutive days full of keynotes, debates and interactive sessions with experienced and internationally recognized speakers, and in line with the most inspiring and unique content on the most relevant themes and trends in international management and marketing, the Vila Nova de Gaia stand presented itself as “We are city creators, makers, savers and dreamers!”, a representative concept of the municipal universe based on the mutual connection between the entities that form the city, connected by beams of light, as a metaphor for a continuous chain of partnership in the creation of the territory.

Creators, the Municipality, as the creating entity; Makers, Gaiurb as a promoter of the city, being open to the active participation of everyone; Savers, the Waters of Gaia, where the dual meaning of the good of all, Water, stands out; Dreamers, INOVAGAIA, emphasizing that we can all transform our dreams and innovate, looking at our reflection and leaving the box.

In short, there are four perspectives that translate the creation of a city for everyone, a creator of desires, a builder of an innovative future and a focus on sustainability and people.

The event represented a unique opportunity for professionals and leaders who aspire to be at the forefront of the most current business practices and trends, acquire knowledge that allows them to change the mindset of their organizations and create long-term value, in an environment that fostered the exchange of ideas and innovation.

The QSP Summit hosted a wide variety of sessions: Main Stage, Worklabs, Special Sessions, Lab Stage and Masterclass, in an attempt to transform the business landscape through debate, collaboration, creation of strategic alliances and sharing of valuable knowledge.
