Tagus Park is a place in Oeiras, Portugal where sciences and technologies are explored in hopes of creating innovative concepts. The park consists of three components; Universities, Research and Development, and technology-based institutions. Sectors within the park focus their studies predominantly on modern telecommunication systems, infrastructure, accessibility, and transportation. Knowledge developed amongst them is transferred into the markets if they seem to have full potential of becoming successful. CEO's and supervisors of companies attend conferences to display and sell their idea to investors so that an idea eventually becomes a profitable operation. While we were visiting we were fortunate enough to meet with some business men with some extraordinary concepts, these included; bio-fuel, smart-house, and media-oriented production. Also, while we were at Tagus Park we visited Microsoft which was my personal favorite because I had no idea they had a branch in Portugal.
They received prestigious awards for being one of the best places to work and I could certainly see why as we took a tour of the building. All workers seemed to be so relaxed and happy. Work was more like a recreation to them as opposed to a chore. I was quite impressed with their achievements and now I have a greater appreciation for my X-BOX. I am also considering starting a petition to incorporate a game room in all CITIZENS BANKS across New England. :)
