Mentorship by Francisco Neves and Helder Delgado, MSc, Eng. Delgado (from Stravillia Sustainability Hub), during the shIft happens acceleration programme.

Highlights Stravillia | As the old saying goes, “the path is made by walking”, and the idea behind Leedkey, explains its founder Paulo Figueiredo, emerged naturally as a response to the need for the tourism sector to reduce CO₂ emissions per room by 66% by 2030 and 90% by 2050.

Leedkey aims to be part of the solution to these challenges and to help Facility Managers on the path towards achieving carbon neutrality and sustainability in their businesses.

For its development, Paulo relied on the mentorship of Francisco Neves and Helder Delgado, MSc, Eng. Delgado (from Stravillia Sustainability Hub), during the shIft happens acceleration programme.

“I had never taken part in a similar programme. I joined because I believed it could help me develop my business idea. Helder and Francisco are two people with a great deal of knowledge, helpful and available to support. Naturally, they helped in many training-related aspects, but they became just as important, or even more so, because of the strength they conveyed to me throughout the process.”

And regarding the future? Paulo is certain about one thing:“I would simply like to have the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge I have acquired. To be able to help build a better world.”
