BIN@Porto | Champion of the Year '18

Business & Innovation Network (BIN@) is an organization promoted by the Universities of Porto (PT), Sheffield (UK) and São Paulo (BR), which brings together universities and companies from around the world.

Each year, in one of these three cities, the organization honors na entity - the Champion of the Year - in recognition of its contribution to the organization and its goals.

In 2018, in Porto, this honor was substantiated by the delivery of a trophy.

Concrete offers robustness and a solid lasting life.

Thus we decided upon the use of an ancient Japanese technique called Kintsugi which, as a philosophy and in tune with the wabi-sabi view, treats the breaking and repair of ceramics as part of an object’s history with gold dust, adding value to its existence while emphasizing that adversity is a gift for learning, growing and improving.
