UPTEC

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK OF UNIVERSITY OF PORTO
The Science and Technology Park of University of Porto is a space for the mutual leverage
of skills between academia and business. UPTEC seeks to take advantage of such
effective proximity to act as a provider of interconnection between these two contexts.
Therefore, its ecosystem provides a favorable environment to innovation and to the
installation of advanced knowledge based companies.
UPTEC is, thus, a structure capable of enhancing the socio-economic aspects of the Porto
region, as it concentrates a large number of startups and private R&D centers (national
and international) around the University of Porto.
Divided into four distinct centers – Technology Center, Creative Industries Center, Sea
Technology Center and Biotechnology Center, UPTEC includes two types of support
structures for businesses, including Incubators and Business Innovation Centers.
In the Incubators, entrepreneurs find the necessary support to turn their ideas into
businesses with potential for sustainable growth. At the Business Innovation Centers,
the existing businesses will find the space and mechanisms to host and operate their
projects and activities, benefiting from the synergies that exist with the R&D Departments
and other interface institutes of the University of Porto.

AuditMark is a start-up focused on providing innovative and more effective solutions to audit online
advertising campaigns.
The Online Advertising market has boomed reaching globally $52 billion in 2008. The exponential growth
of this market is benefiting from the internet growth and most of all from the increased confidence in the
results of online advertising campaigns. However, this market faces one major issue: fraud. According to
various studies, around 17% of the online advertising market is lost to fraud. Due to the amounts involved,
this is a serious problem. In 2010, $10 billion were lost to fraud. It cannot be solved completely due to
limitations of the Internet.
However, it can be minimized using web campaign optimization. In Q1-2011, AuditMark is launching
an innovative web campaign optimization service, offered through the Internet, that can optimize web
campaigns to reduce fraud at least by 50%. This is a win-win situation for our clients as they can pay
our service with a small percentage of what they are able to save by using web campaign optimization.
There are a few competitors already in the market, but their technology is limited. Moreover, it’s a big and
expanding market, which is largely unexplored. Especially in Europe, where AuditMark will be the only
company offering this service.
Auditmark is already in product trials. They are looking for partnerships for commercialization and investment
for entering the European and US markets. In the last 2 years, AuditMark has been exploring new auditing
techniques and improving existing approaches. This multi-technique approach results in a more effective
solution for measuring the traffic quality of online advertising campaigns. Our competitors use a single
auditing technique approach. They have developed technology that has high potential to submit for patents.

The aim of the project is to revive a traditional Douro spicy condiment, following an old recipe from a well
known Port wine house, and to develop both production and the marketing of this product.
But having recognized the importance of size and critical mass for the viability and sustainability of the
project, the Douro Prime, S.A., formally constituted in July 2008, developed a business plan to produce and
commercialize not only the above mentioned spicy condiment but also other traditional products from the
Douro, like wines, olive oil and vinegars.
So the objective of DP is to produce and trade, within national and external markets, 5 product lines firmly
anchored in the Douro Demarcated Region. It’ll benefit from the high qualitative potential of the region, and
from the positive brand image already enjoyed by the Port Wine and the Douro valley both at national and
international level.
The 5 product lines that will be commercialized by DOURO PRIME are: Douro DOC wine (Red. Reserve Red
and White) - INQUIETO RESERVA 2006 is already in the market; Spicy Condiment based on a traditional Port

Emailbidding is Adwords for e-mail marketing. Emailbidding is a self-service web-based platform for
advertisers (or agencies) that allows them to bid for the audience available through the publishers network
(opt-in databases for permission marketing).
Advertisers bid for each click, which means they bid for the subscribers that are more likely to buy their products or services, transforming e-mail marketing in a powerful tool based on performance. Advertisers get
immediate visibility on return from their investment at the same time that invest only on subscribers that
show interest on their campaigns. Furthermore, advertisers can see a continuous revenue stream from their
campaigns without the hassle of managing individual email shots.
End users (subscribers) benefit from this solution by selecting the campaigns which they are more
interested in, avoiding receiving messages that have little or no interest for them.
Publishers have clear benefits from increasing their e-mail marketing revenue stream because they can
access to a huge amount of campaigns which are automatically selected to be sent to their subscribers,
based on individual user information and behavior. Additionally, the platform is fully automated, which
eliminates the cumber-some and error prone manual work associated with the traditional email-marketing
activity.
With powerful statistics and intelligent algorithms, Emailbidding computes the best fit between campaigns
and subscribers, assigning the best available campaign for each individual subscriber.

interaction with the customer, presenting itself both as an opportunity and a challenge to the Retailer.

architecture and design; product assortment and merchandise layout; commercial strategy and quality of service: all of this supported by the store environment experience (temperature, humidity, illumination, smell,
music, noise, air quality, etc.).
The customer sensory experience is shaped by the store environment, which is itself a prominent element
in defining the image of the retailer (Brand) possessing a decisive influence on sales performance and
operating costs of a store.

innovative and fully integrated solutions, built to aid retailers in their endless effort to manage and optimize
their retail environments.

.
In the scope of its activities, NCREP - Consultancy on Rehabilitation of Built Heritage, Ltd. addresses
to the intervention on traditional and modern existing construction typologies, such as masonry, timber,
concrete and steel structures, and it follows an integrated and multidisciplinary approach based on a detailed
study of the construction, making use of traditional and modern inspection and diagnostic techniques. In

functionality, structural safety and heritage safeguard, as acknowledged by international charts and
recommendations for the conservation and rehabilitation of built heritage. This integrated methodology

company, with offices and operations in 30 countries across every continent but that unpleasantly frozen
one. In Portugal since 2009, it draws from a global network of over 500 full-time employees, 3000 creative
contributors, and a fanatical monthly audience of over 15 million worldwide.
What separates them from the rest? They have a unique and irreverent perspective. They know others say
the same, but they prove that what others aspire to is just their starting point. They are not satisfied in just
exposing reality. They stimulate it, interfere in it, they are part of it. They have a strong image, connected to
the brands and companies that are a inextricable part of their universe.
In 2010, VICE was considered the third most innovative media company by Fast Company. Their influence
is felt when respected media outlets like CNN, Guardian and Wired, share and comment their work. Maybe
because they believe that no other media has the guts to expose the best and the worst in our society in
such a corrosive and jovial style. And with that power comes a great responsibility.
They are not just editors and reporters. They are marketers and creative directors. They are a full-service

UPTEC seeks to take advantage of such effective proximity to act as a provider of interconnection between these two contexts. Therefore, its ecosystem provides a favorable environment to innovation and to the installation of advanced knowledge based companies. UPTEC is, thus, a structure capable of enhancing the socio-economic aspects of the Porto region, as it concentrates a large number of startups and private R&D centers (national and international) around the University of Porto. Divided into four distinct centers – Technology Center, Creative Industries Center, Sea Technology Center and Biotechnology Center, UPTEC includes two types of support structures for businesses, including Incubators and Business Innovation Centers. In the Incubators, entrepreneurs find the necessary support to turn their ideas into businesses with potential for sustainable growth. At the Business Innovation Centers, the existing businesses will find the space and mechanisms to host and operate their projects and activities, benefiting from the synergies that exist with the R&D Departments and other interface institutes of the University of Porto.

The Online Advertising market has boomed reaching globally $52 billion in 2008. The exponential growth of this market is benefiting from the internet growth and most of all from the increased confidence in the results of online advertising campaigns. However, this market faces one major issue: fraud. According to various studies, around 17% of the online advertising market is lost to fraud. Due to the amounts involved, this is a serious problem. In 2010, $10 billion were lost to fraud. It cannot be solved completely due to limitations of the Internet. However, it can be minimized using web campaign optimization. In Q1-2011, AuditMark is launching an innovative web campaign optimization service, offered through the Internet, that can optimize web campaigns to reduce fraud at least by 50%. This is a win-win situation for our clients as they can pay our service with a small percentage of what they are able to save by using web campaign optimization. There are a few competitors already in the market, but their technology is limited. Moreover, it’s a big and expanding market, which is largely unexplored. Especially in Europe, where AuditMark will be the only company offering this service. Auditmark is already in product trials. They are looking for partnerships for commercialization and investment for entering the European and US markets. In the last 2 years, AuditMark has been exploring new auditing techniques and improving existing approaches. This multi-technique approach results in a more effective solution for measuring the traffic quality of online advertising campaigns. Our competitors use a single auditing technique approach. They have developed technology that has high potential to submit for patents. 18

Emailbidding is a self-service web-based platform for advertisers (or agencies) that allows them to bid for the audience available through the publishers network (opt-in databases for permission marketing). Advertisers bid for each click, which means they bid for the subscribers that are more likely to buy their products or services, transforming e-mail marketing in a powerful tool based on performance. Advertisers get immediate visibility on return from their investment at the same time that invest only on subscribers that show interest on their campaigns. Furthermore, advertisers can see a continuous revenue stream from their campaigns without the hassle of managing individual email shots. End users (subscribers) benefit from this solution by selecting the campaigns which they are more interested in, avoiding receiving messages that have little or no interest for them. Publishers have clear benefits from increasing their e-mail marketing revenue stream because they can access to a huge amount of campaigns which are automatically selected to be sent to their subscribers, based on individual user information and behavior. Additionally, the platform is fully automated, which eliminates the cumber-some and error prone manual work associated with the traditional email-marketing activity. With powerful statistics and intelligent algorithms, Emailbidding computes the best fit between campaigns and subscribers, assigning the best available campaign for each individual subscriber. 28

In Portugal since 2009, it draws from a global network of over 500 full-time employees, 3000 creative contributors, and a fanatical monthly audience of over 15 million worldwide. What separates them from the rest? They have a unique and irreverent perspective. They know others say the same, but they prove that what others aspire to is just their starting point. They are not satisfied in just exposing reality. They stimulate it, interfere in it, they are part of it. They have a strong image, connected to the brands and companies that are a inextricable part of their universe. In 2010, VICE was considered the third most innovative media company by Fast Company. Their influence is felt when respected media outlets like CNN, Guardian and Wired, share and comment their work. Maybe because they believe that no other media has the guts to expose the best and the worst in our society in such a corrosive and jovial style. And with that power comes a great responsibility. They are not just editors and reporters. They are marketers and creative directors. They are a full-service agency, which covers brand strategy, creative development, production, distribution, and research — all under a single roof. They are storming the world with an undiluted message of creative purity and innovative force. Judging by their impending world domination, it’s working. 89
