At the location where the Tagus River meets the Atlantic and served as the starting point for the great Portuguese navigators, the new Champalimaud Centre seeks to celebrate not only the epic memory of the place but also a significant moment in the recent history of our country.
The Champalimaud Foundation’s commitment to carbon neutrality led to a recent partnership with the Greenvolt Group, aimed at implementing a decentralized energy project at the site.
This partnership positions the Foundation to become the world’s first healthcare institution to exclusively rely on 100% clean energy consumption.
The choice of this venue for the BeNext event reflects our mission’s core values: demonstrating the tangible impact of decentralized energy solutions in driving the transition to clean energy and attaining carbon neutrality.
