The CCG/ZGDV, founded in 1993, is a research and development entity integrated in the National Scientific and Technological System (SCTN), formally recognized by the Portuguese Government with the Statute of Public Utility and as a Technology and Innovation Center (CTI).

As an interface center of the University of Minho for the digital economy, CCG/ZGDV provides consulting services in technological innovation, laboratory services, research and development under contract and business training and specialized training.

With a dynamic and multidisciplinary team, the CCG/ZGDV has four R&D departments: CVIG (Computer Vision, Interaction and Graphics), EPMQ (IT Engineering - Process, Data, Maturity, and Quality), HTIR (Human-Technology Interaction and Robotics), UMC (Urban and Mobile Computing) - which appear as specialized operational units, in the scientific fields where they operate and in the different value propositions of the technologies they develop.

At CCG we believe in the economic value of knowledge as a way to achieve a better society. Therefore, we act autonomously or in networks, as an “interface” between sources of knowledge (Universities) and economy (companies), based on strategic partnerships – through projects and services – with knowledge transfer.
