Taste Up is an acceleration program promoted by the Creative Territories, in partnership with Turismo de Portugal and APTECE, designed to support entrepreneurship projects in the area of ​​Gastronomic Tourism. This is intended for entrepreneurs who want to recover knowledge or flavour with tradition, starting an entrepreneurial and innovative project in the area of ​​cuisine and typical gastronomy, in territories of low density and / or away from large urban centres.

In September, Taste Up will tour the country to energize 8 project selection workshops with the aim of publicizing the program and selecting a finalist per workshop, which will have access to boot camps, face-to-face and virtual mentoring sessions at the final event . Participation in boot camps includes free meals (during work periods) and accomodation.

The program offers € 5000 in monetary prizes (€ 4000 for the winner and € 500 for the second and third runners up), plus prizes provided by the partner network of the program.

The Roadshow will be held in Ponte de Lima, on September 17th, at 3:00 p.m., at Clara Penha - Casa dos Sabores. Entries for the Ponte de Lima selection workshop can be applied for by completing the form available at http://bit.ly/2PonteDeLima or at the Facebook page of Taste Up.
