One of the challenges to increase innovation capacity in Portugal is to promote the valorisation on the market of knowledge and technologies produced by the entities of the scientific and technological system, but also to enlarge the base of entities with R&D and innovation activities.

The Collaborative Laboratories (CoLAB), within the sco- pe of the INTERFACE Programme, assume fundamental importance in this process, given its research objectives oriented to providing solutions to concrete problems of our society, mobilising and promoting the interconnections be- tween different actors and entities with different compe- tences. The dynamics of networking and collaborative in- novation will be enhanced by CoLAB’s action in the coming years, not only at the national level but also in international markets.
