Setúbal City Council
Our main partner on this journey towards a more sustainable and more inclusive future in the region.
The Setúbal City Council is the collegiate executive body of the municipality of Setúbal. It is therefore responsible for implementing policies that defend the interests and needs of the local population. It is up to the municipality to promote the development of the region in all areas of life, from education to the environment.
Setúbal’s strategic line of work is the construction of an increasingly intervening society in relation to environmental and social challenges. This is one of the reasons that makes the Setúbal City Council the perfect ally in the development of Setúbal Knowledge City.
Making history side by side
It is in this region that Sam Pitroda wants to “make history” in Portugal and in the world. On the day of the signing of the cooperation protocol with the Setúbal City Council, the businessman and philanthropist considered “this historic and memorable day”, adding that the Knowledge City is a “fascinating challenge”.
Maria das Dores Meira, Mayor of the municipality, showed great enthusiasm when signing the protocol with the Pitroda Group, highlighting the main objectives of Setúbal Knowledge City: “this is a space where people will live, work, collaborate and innovate together”.
Setúbal Knowledge City is part of the strategy defined in PEDS 26 – Strategic Development Plan – Setúbal 2026 and in the revision of the Municipal Master Plan, therefore contributing “to the realization of the challenges outlined in these two instruments”.
PEDS 26 recommends that the implementation of “an intelligent specialization strategy for the municipality is a crucial challenge, given the economic and competitive dimension of Setúbal”, says Maria das Dores Meira.
