In the mind of the Founder “only by the achievement of self-initiative it is possible to reunite the active participation of all the individuals in the building of a modern and developed society”.

For that reason, the Ilídio Pinho Foundation intends to apply the profits of its actives in its perpetuity and in its actions so that they may contribute to the development of Science, Economy, Hi-Tech innovation, the promotion of Portuguese Culture and to the reinforcement of solidarity among people, so that all are integrated in the models of globalization with which are confronted by.

And because the materialism that characterizes our society is today reinforced by economical fluxes each time more relevant and more immaterial, the Ilídio Pinho Foundation desires to do something different and useful for the society, namely by Science and Technology, elements that permanently portray the evolution and the dissatisfaction of men.
