Investing in talent is investing in the future of the industry
July 22, 2026
For APIP, the link between higher education and the business community is essential for exposing students to the real-world challenges of the industry and preparing professionals capable of keeping pace with its transformation.
In a constantly evolving sector marked by technological innovation, digitalization, and sustainability, attracting and developing talent is becoming increasingly strategic.
The +Indústria Scholarships therefore represent much more than financial support: they provide an opportunity to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and the business world, highlight existing career opportunities in industry, and contribute to the development of young people and the region.
APIP congratulates the 34 distinguished students, thanks the Politécnico de Leiria and the companies that made this 11th edition possible, as well as the partner organizations: AIRO - Associação Empresarial do Oeste, APICER - Associação Portuguesa das Indústrias de Cerâmica e de Cristalaria, ARICOP - Assoc. Reg. dos Inds. de Construção e Obras Públicas de Leiria e Ourém, ASSIMAGRA, CEFAMOL - Associação Nacional Indústria de Moldes and NERLEI CCI - Associação Empresarial da Região de Leiria/Câmara de Comércio e Indústria.
We are proud to be part of this partnership, which continues to invest in the professional development of people and the competitiveness of Portuguese industry.
