The Portuguese footwear industry is one of the most advanced in the world, transferring its technology to the five continents. INESC TEC has contributed to the entire innovation process.
INESC TEC has been working for over 20 years in the field of distribution networks, from the first research project in the early 1990s to the present moment, where the investment in smart grids sets the agenda for the energy of the future.
It was in the early 1980s that INESC TEC started working in the field of optical fibre sensors and the year 2014 is a landmark in this story, as that was the year INESC TEC sold its spin-off FiberSensing to a German multinational.
The strategic partnership between INESC TEC and EFACEC has now existed for more than twenty years. It all started in 1996 in the area of distribution networks, which at the time accounted for about two million euros a year for EFACEC. Twenty years later, the DMS (Distribution Management System) accounted for approximately thirty million euros.
In October, Ana Pires became the first Portuguese woman to obtain the scientist-astronaut diploma in the PoSSUM Scientist Astronaut Qualification Program, which was supported by NASA and taught at the Embry-riddle Aeronautical University (Florida, USA), one of the most prestigious universities in the United States for already having trained several astronauts.
