Portugal Tourism Minds is an initiative, from Startup Porto, that addresses several challenges related with the sustainable development of the tourism ecosystem: from new digital strategies for companies and tourist destinations to the optimization of business operations in tourism.

To address these challenges we have created 2 different acceleration programs, each with a specific focus. Each program will be 4 months long, with a tailor-made education stream and the ability to foster future collaboration between all the participants in the program.

What We Offer

Tailor-made Support

From activities specific to your business model, to mentors and coaches that can have a direct impact in your decision making. We will aim to support your business by starting to map out your specific needs, and then designing the best solution in terms of mentorship support.

School of Hotel Management and Tourism

As part of Politécnico do Porto, our programs will have a direct collaboration with ESHT – Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo. This means that you will have the chance to collaborate closely with teaching staff as well as investigators in these areas.


Startup Porto has more than 4 years experience with acceleration programs. Specifically, programs and initiatives in the sectors of product development and product design.
