Jorge Graça, innovation director at NOS — Portugal’s top innovator in 2023 with €96.6 million invested — shared how the telecom giant is pushing boundaries beyond traditional business.

NOS’s focus on innovation is part of a broader story told on the podcast Liga dos Inovadores, which showcases how Portuguese companies are transforming the economy through creativity and tech.
