IMOBI Portugal, Unipessoal Lda is the European entity of the IMOBI group, incorporated in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, with direct access to European research and innovation funding programmes. Incubated at INOVA.GAIA since September 2026.
IMOBI Portugal is the group entity that participates directly in European funding programmes, including Horizon Europe, Eurostars and EU open calls.
Technical delivery is supported by a network of technical partners, including VIRTUS/UFCG, an EMBRAPII-accredited centre of competence at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil, under a confirmed MOU.
On 30 September 2026, IMOBI Portugal signed its incubation agreement with INOVA.GAIA, in Vila Nova de Gaia. Incubation places the entity inside the local innovation ecosystem and gives European partners a counterpart with a real base in Portugal.
