The 3rd Sustainable Value Creation Summit
Where knowledge becomes sustainable value
25 - 30 January
Nova SBE, Carcavelos
From 25 to 30 January 2027, professionals from Brazil and Europe will meet at Nova SBE in Carcavelos, Portugal, for an international experience of learning, collaboration and value creation.
The 3rd Sustainable Value Creation Summit brings together two complementary experiences: the VCW Journey Certification and the VCW Global Sprint Trainer Assessment. Throughout the week, participants will explore how the Value Creation Wheel® can be applied to complex challenges by combining artificial intelligence, agility and human strategic thinking.
Through a practical approach, the Summit encourages solution development, knowledge sharing and collaboration among professionals, researchers and organisations from Brazil and Europe.
A structured, hands-on format
The Summit is organized across eight dedicated days, each focused on a specific topic and thematic area aligned with national and European Union priorities and Horizon Europe Clusters.
Morning sessions focus on individual work, during which participants apply myVCW to their own organizational challenges and develop a Value Creation Canvas (VC²). The objective is to build a strong value proposition for their organization with the potential to secure funding from national calls or European Commission programs.
Afternoon sessions are collaborative and team-based. Participants work together to explore, refine, and advance solutions using the VCW methodology, aligning their individual value propositions with those of other organizations to form national and international consortia.
