In a world that is constantly evolving, investing in continuous education, both for employees and individuals, is no longer optional; it is a strategic priority. The ability to adapt, innovate and grow within organisations increasingly depends on teams that are well-prepared to face the challenges of both the present and the future. It is with this purpose in mind that the Executive Education Fair 2025 was created. This is an initiative by Lionesa Business Hub, in partnership with Talent Portugal.
From 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on 3rd June, the heart of Lionesa BH will transform into a true meeting point between businesses and academic institutions, united by a shared goal: to empower people and strengthen talent.
Why invest in continuous education?
In a competitive and ever-changing job market, professionals who keep learning are the ones who stand out. For companies, promoting executive education for their teams means:
- Increasing talent retention, by demonstrating a genuine commitment to their development;
- Fostering innovation, through more informed, confident and better-prepared teams;
- Enhancing performance and productivity, by aligning skills with strategic business challenges;
- Attracting high-potential talent, who value environments that encourage learning and growth.
In this context, strengthening the connection between the corporate and academic worlds becomes essential.
