Lisbon, October 14, 2022<\/strong> - The \"\u00danicos\" award is an initiative promoted by Google and Shilling, in partnership with The Next Big Idea, with the aim of distinguishing a startup that could become part of the generation of Portuguese companies that are leaders or candidates for leaders in the global markets where they operate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Applications are open until November 30 and the finalists will be announced at the beginning of December, with the winner being chosen at an event in pitch<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u00danicos Prize will support startups in three key areas: The \u00danicos Award is aimed at startups that meet the following requirements: Applications should be made at: https:\/\/thenextbigidea.pt\/premio-unicos\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the theme of the new season of the program The Next Big Idea, broadcast on SIC Not\u00edcias and SIC Internacional, with the support of Google and Shilling.<\/strong><\/p>\n After ten years of ideas and more than 600 episodes produced for television, the startup ecosystem in Portugal is quite different from the one that The Next Big Idea found when it debuted in 2012.<\/p>\n As of the launch of this new season, seven companies that began as startups have reached a valuation of more than 1 billion dollars, which has led them to be labeled \"unicorns\".<\/p>\n As Portugal closes a first cycle, the first decade of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, in which many ideas have grown and many others have fallen by the wayside, it's time to learn from the Portuguese who have managed to make their companies a global reference.<\/p>\n This is the aim of the special edition \"Unique\"<\/strong> of The Next Big Idea<\/strong>with the support of Google<\/strong> and Shilling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Every week until the end of the year, the story will be told of the unicorns founded by Portuguese people and the high-potential startups that helped build the innovation ecosystem we know today.<\/p>\n Diogo M\u00f3nica, Ricardo Marv\u00e3o, Rui Bento, Andr\u00e9 Albuquerque, Cristina Fonseca, Miguel Santo Amaro, Humberto Ayres Pereira, Marcelo Lebre, Vasco Pedro and Daniela Braga share how, in less than ten years, they have made Portuguese companies leaders or potential leaders in world markets.<\/p>\n \"These are the stories of a new generation of entrepreneurs and managers who are not only creating products, but also reinventing the role of companies. We believe that the future of society and the economy will pass through this and that the role of journalism is also to democratize access to information about what makes a company a good company. That's the purpose of this project, developed in partnership with Google and Shilling and with SIC Not\u00edcias as our long-standing television partner.\"<\/em>says Rute Sousa Vasco, publisher of MadreMedia and co-author of The Next Big Idea.<\/p>\n This season, The Next Big Idea will be reinforcing its content offer on its digital platforms, responding to a growing demand for information on the strategy of companies and projects that stand out in the innovation and talent economy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the episodes broadcast on SIC Not\u00edcias and SIC Internacional, there area series of Masterclasses will begin in December<\/strong> on The Next Big Idea YouTube channel and on the Google and Shilling platforms. These are some of the questions to be answered with the vision and experience of Portuguese entrepreneurs who stand out in Portugal and on the global market in a series of sessions led by Rute Sousa Vasco, journalist and co-author of The Next Big Idea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Next Big Idea - Special Edition \"Unique\"<\/strong> is displayed Saturdays at 8:40 a.m. and Sundays at 4:40 p.m. on SIC Not\u00edcias<\/strong>It is also transmitted in the 15 countries where SIC Internacional is present<\/strong>.<\/p>\n About The Next Big Idea<\/strong> Google, Shilling e The Next Big Idea procuram a pr\u00f3xima startup a destacar-se no ecossistema de inova\u00e7\u00e3o portugu\u00eas e t\u00eam mais de 150 mil euros em pr\u00e9mios para atribuir.
