NOVA Medical School, in partnership with the Nova SBE Health Economics & Management Knowledge Center, will bring the well-known business pitching model 'Shark Tank' to the academy, providing a unique platform for final-year Nutrition Science students to present themselves to the job market.

The Nutrition Shark Tank aims to represent an environment where academic knowledge transforms into tangible and innovative proposals. It will be a stage where recent graduates have the opportunity to present visionary projects with solutions to various issues in the Health sector to an audience of potential employers and possible investors. Inspired by the popular format of the existing TV show, this event will highlight the entrepreneurial spirit of the graduates.

Designed in partnership with the Nova SBE Health Economics & Management Knowledge Center, the "Nutrition Shark Tank" is an innovative model that will feature "sharks" from the business world, such as CUF, Nestlé, Eurest, Super Bock, Diaverum, SLB, Abbott, Sonae, Jerónimo Martins, FIPA, Sumol Compal, among others. These specialists will evaluate the projects presented by six groups of students, involving a total of 15 finalists. The projects will be tested by the panel of sharks, and the audience present will vote for the best pitch.
