<div><strong>Empresa </strong>Cell2B<br />
<strong>Área de actividade</strong> Biotecnologia<br />
<strong>Equipa</strong> 4 pessoas<br />

<hr />
<p>Conta-se rapidamente a história de vida da Cell2B, que chegou ao mercado apenas há alguns meses, mas é preciso mais tempo para encontrar o rasto da investigação que, graças ao trabalho dos fundadores da empresa, ganhou maturidade para ser testada em seres humanos e com isso iniciou um percurso de preparação para chegar ao mercado com uma oferta comercial.</p>
<p>Licenciada em Engenharia Biomédica na Universidade do Minho, Daniela Couto seguiu na formação académica com um doutoramento em Bioengenharia no Instituto Superior Técnico, no âmbito do programa MIT-Portugal.</p>
<p>Foi aqui que, juntamente com outro fundador da empresa, explorou uma área de investigação com longa tradição no Laboratório de Bioengenharia em Células Estaminais do IST, acabando por ajudar a desenvolver uma terapia inovadora na resposta aos problemas de rejeição nos transplantes de medula óssea. Um tratamento que pode ser também aplicado a situações de rejeição de órgãos como o coração, o fígado ou o rim.</p>
<p>O trabalho chamou a atenção do Instituto Português de Oncologia e a terapia celular foi experimentada em sete doentes. Os resultados não podiam ser mais satisfatórios, com seis doentes a apresentarem respostas muito positivas, em alguns casos na ordem dos 100 por cento.</p>
<p>Em meados do ano passado, juntamente com outros três investigadores, começou a ganhar forma a ideia de criar uma empresa que transferisse para o mercado o resultado da I&amp;D que vinham produzindo. No início de 2011 o plano concretizou-se. O passo seguinte foi encontrar investidores e parceiros para dar início à fase de ensaios clínicos. Uma primeira ronda de financiamento está garantida e os parceiros também. A estimativa da investigadora é de que seja possível colocar produto no mercado num prazo de quatro anos.</p>
<p>No âmbito do doutoramento que está a terminar Daniela esteve nos Estados Unidos, no MIT, durante quase três anos. Reconhece que a experiência, e a própria orientação do programa, vocacionado para o negócio, a muniram das ferramentas necessárias para criar a empresa e promover uma estratégia de mercado.</p>

The Portuguese newspaper Expresso highlighted Cell2b as one of the stricking portuguese examples of talent in times of crisis, bringing innovation and technology to the market (<a href="http://aeiou.expressoemprego.pt/Actualidades.aspx?Art=1&amp;Id=2627">link</a>).</p>

<h1>Talentos sem medo</h1>
<p><strong>06.10.2011</strong></p>
<p>Nos últimos anos, Portugal assistiu ao surgimento de um conjunto de novos negócios, cada vez mais competitivos e inovadores que desafiaram todas as adversidades económicas e escolheram vender ao mundo os seus produtos, mas a partir de Portugal. São empresas que hoje lideram nas suas áreas de atividade e cujos empreendedores atacaram a crise de frente só para as colocar no mercado.</p>
<p>É portuguesa a maior produtora mundial de kayaks de competição, a Mar Kayaks. É também portuguesa uma das líderes mundiais de software de identificação, a NDrive. Tem também o carimbo nacional, a Critical Software que aspirou um dia trabalhar com a Nasa e conseguiu. Hoje, tem já escritórios em Silicon Valley, na Califórnia, mas mantém-se sediada em Coimbra. São ainda de produção nacional, empresas como a ActualSales que revolucionou o mercado da publicidade digital, a rede mundial de crítica de vinhos Adegga.com que chamou a atenção da Business Week ou a Seed Studios que alcançou projeção internacional ao desenvolver o “Under Siege”, o primeiro jogo português para a PlayStation3 e que nem por isso virou costas ao seu país. Há em território nacional centenas de empresas de sucesso que projetam orgulhosamente, a nível mundial, a chancela made in Portugal. Empresas com um rosto. O rosto de um grupo de empreendedores sem medo que não teme a crise e acredita que fazer acontecer, é sempre melhor do que esperar por resultados milagrosos.</p>
<p>Quando em pleno ano de crise Cláudia Ranito decidiu colocar no mercado a Medbone, Medical Devices, não esperava facilidades mas também não desistiu. A jovem engenheira de materiais, agora com 31 anos, criou em 2008 uma empresa que fabrica dispositivos médicos e que em três anos se tornou numa referência internacional na área da regeneração óssea. Na criação da empresa Cláudia Ranito investiu 600 mil euros que prevê recuperar dentro de dois a três anos.</p>
<p>A adversidade financeira do país não demoveu a empreendedora da sua vontade de aplicar na prática a sua experiência de dez anos na área de I&amp;D de Biomaterials. Tanto mais que para Cláudia Ranito não restam dúvidas: “a crise é real mas as oportunidades continuam a existir”. A Medbone veio suprir uma clara necessidade do mercado que é a falta de osso de qualidade disponível no mercado mundial. A partir de Portugal, Cláudia Ranito solucionou o problema e agora a empreendedora que com a sua atividade desenvolver produtos que contribuam para a qualidade de vida as pessoas. Foi isso que a fez acreditar no seu projeto e para a jovem “este é um estimulo de valor incalculável”.</p>
<p>Mas Cláudia não foi a única a acreditar no potencial da Medbone. A Agência da Inovação apoiou o projeto, através do programa Netotec – Criação de Empresas de Base Tecnológica e a Medbone contou ainda com o apoio da DNA Cascais e da Associação Nacional de Jovens Empresários (ANJE). Atualmente, Cláudia Ranito dá emprego a seis pessoas e meta é “desenvolver novos produtos, o que implicará aumentar os quadros nas áreas da produção, investigação e desenvolvimento, bem como na área comercial nacional e internacional”. Para a jovem, “a exportação foi estratégica desde o primeiro minuto, até porque a crise mundial não fará parar o mundo e a área da saúde requer evolução constante nos diversos mercados”.</p>
<p>A Medbone vende diretamente a parceiros de distribuição material ortopédico, dentário, de cirurgia plástica e para veterinária. Parceiros esses que, por sua vez, comercializam os produtos junto de médicos, clínicas e hospitais das suas especialidades. A empresa faz tudo isto a partir de Portugal e tem conquistado a sua posição no mercado sem esquecer a sua origem lusa. Uma estratégia que para Cláudia sustenta parte do sucesso da Medbone. “Acreditei sempre que era possível a partir de Portugal ter um projeto tão ambicioso, devidamente implementado, com as melhores práticas, procedimentos, equipamentos e materiais a nível mundial”, confessa. E não errou.</p>
<p>Nem ela, nem a equipa da Cell2B que desenvolve também a partir de Portugal uma terapia celular concebida para tratar doentes que apresentam sinais de rejeição após transplante de medula óssea. Daniela Couto, David Malta, Pedro Andrdade e Francisco Santos criaram em plena crise uma empresa 100% nacional, resultante da convicção de que seja qual for a conjuntura Portugal sabe fazer bem. A empresa de biotecnologia Cell2B atua também na área da saúde desenvolvendo terapias que eliminam o problema da rejeição de órgãos. “O projeto tecnológico surgiu no âmbito de uma colaboração entre o Instituto Português de Oncologia e o Laboratório de Bioengenharia de Células Estaminais do Instituto Superior Técnico”, explica Daniela Couto, uma das mentoras da empresa que avança que “a terapia foi inicialmente administrada a sete doentes ao abrigo de uma autorização especial e o sucesso da sua aplicação levou a disponibilizá-la a todos os pacientes que dela necessitem”.</p>
<p>Para a empreendedora, a empresa que lidera é única no mercado. A Cell2B emprega os seus quatro fundadores, mas reúne também um conselho científico e estratégico de seis especialistas de renome internacional que se dedicam a pensar o desenvolvimento científico e estratégico da empresa. Daniela adianta que “os métodos de tratamento da rejeição após um transplante apenas tentam intervir perante os sintomas, mas não existe atualmente no mercado nenhuma terapêutica que revele eficácia na cura. Não há nada igual ao que nós desenvolvemos”. Nada igual ao que Daniela e a equipa realizam a partir de Portugal.<br />
Apesar da coincidência dos exemplos o talento nacional não está só na área da saúde. Nos últimos anos, enfrentando todas as conjunturas adversas, os empreendedores nacionais souberam destacar-se em várias áreas desde o turismo, à nanotecnologia, passando pelas novas tecnologias. É o caso na Innowave Technologies, criada em 2008 por Tiago Gonçalves e Fernando Correia e que gerou lucro logo nos primeiros três meses de vida e que hoje tem 70% das suas receitas provenientes do exterior. A empresa tecnológica atua na área do business inteligence e, mais recentemente, na da televisão. Está presente em mercados como a Bélgica, Itália e Alemanha, prevê faturar 2,1 milhões de euros este ano e acredita que o sucesso é possível a partir de Portugal, seja qual for a conjuntura.</p>
<p>Outra tecnológica nacional a dar cartas no estrangeiro é a VoiceInteraction. A empresa nacional é responsável por instalar todo o software de reconhecimento de voz nos tribunais brasileiros, vendo assim a sua faturação anual subir em 125 mil euros já este ano. A empresa tem já contratos com o Tribunal Regional de Trabalho do Paraná e com o Tribunal de Justiça de Mato Grosso, representando 300 salas de audiência. E para Renato Casaca, um dos acionistas da VoiceInteraction, “a empresa está voltada para o Brasil pois este é um mercado que não tem concorrência”. A empresa foi criada em 2008, como spin-off do INESC-ID Lisboa e está pensada para desenvolver tecnologias na área do processamento da fala. Mais uma vez, a conjuntura económica não intimidou a vontade de concretizar.</p>
<p>Entre 2008 e 2010, pelo contexto de adversidade económica no país, foram criadas 7737 empresas por desempregados, sendo que 2589 surgiram em 2010. Esta capacidade de arriscar e empreender fazendo frente a uma conjuntura hostil permitiu, segundo dados do Instituto do Emprego e Formação Profissional (IEFP) dar emprego a 17.460 desempregados. Mas o presidente da Comissão Executiva da ANJE, Manuel Teixeira, reconhece que as dificuldades no acesso ao crédito poderão condicionar a atividade empreendedora em Portugal. “É importante que o Estado continue a apoiar o empreendedorismo sobretudo em setores de bens e serviços transacionáveis que permitam aumentar as exportações ou substituir as importações”, defende.<br />
Segundo especialista, “está a crescer no país o número de PME de base tecnológica que desenvolvem atividades de I&amp;D, envolvem recursos humanos altamente qualificados e apresentam um grande potencial de internacionalização”. Muitas destas PME foram fundadas, em pleno período de hostilidade, por jovens empreendedores que converteram desta forma o seu conhecimento técnico-centífico em valor empresarial.</p>
<p>É inquestionável o ganho que Portugal capitalizou nos últimos anos no que toca à crescente inovação e competitividade dos projetos empresariais que viu nascer no país. “Há uma forte geração de cientistas/empreendedores que criou empresas muito competitivas num segmento high tech e cuja atividade é hoje, maioritariamente, direcionada para os mercados externos”, explica Manuel Teixeira salientando que “desde 2007 que Portugal é um exportador líquido de tecnologia o que significa que o país está a abandonar o modelo económico assente em mão de obra intensiva e produtos ou serviços de baixo perfil tecnológico, para assumir um modelo económico baseado no trinómio ciência, tecnologia e inovação”. Manuel Teixeira aplaude a decisão destas jovens empresas manterem cá a sua atividade, mas estarem voltadas para o mercado internacional.</p>
<p>Uma realidade que também agrada a Pedro Rocha Vieira, presidente da Beta-i, Associação para a Promoção da Inovação e Empreendedorismo. O líder confirma o crescimento de novos negócios com forte caráter de inovação e internacionalmente competitivos e até acredita que “a crise em Portugal pode ser alavancada para a criação de novas empresas se se conseguir, em primeiro lugar, aproveitar a crise para uma maior consolidação e reestruturação dos setores, através da criação de novas empresas com maior capacidade de produção, gestão e exportação”. Pedro Rocha Vieira defende ainda que é fundamental aproveitar a inevitabilidade dos despedimentos para potenciar a criação de programas que apoiem a criação de empresas por parte dos trabalhadores qualificados, com capacidade de iniciativa que perderam o lugar nas empresas onde trabalhavam. Uma estratégia que poderá ajudar a diminuir o eventual receio de arriscar em época de adversidade.</p></blockquote>

<h1>Terapias que salvam vidas</h1>
<p><strong>01.06.2011</strong></p>
<p>Quatro jovens portugueses ousaram desafiar a crise e colocaram no mercado um projeto ambicioso que pode ajudar a salvar muitas vidas. A Cell2b desenvolve uma terapia celular concebida para tratar doentes que apresentam sinais de rejeição após transplante de medula óssea.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Desenvolver terapias que salvam vidas é a grande missão da empresa Cell2b, um projeto nacional materializado por Daniela Couto em parceria com três colegas, também investigadores, David Malta, Pedro Andrdade e Francisco Santos. Com apenas cinco meses de existência, a Cell2B já mostrou parte do seu potencial. O projeto made in Portugal venceu a categoria Start do Prémio Mulher Empresária, um galardão de empreendedorismo feminino da Associação Nacional de Jovens Empresários (ANJE), destinado a reconhecer a inovação associada a empresas constituídas há menos de um ano.</p>
<p>A distinção valeu à empreendedora um prize money de cinco mil euros que foram diretos para a implantação do negócio. Na verdade, como explica Daniela Couto “todo o dinheiro que sustentou a empresa até à data foi dinheiro dos quatro fundadores mas esperamos, de futuro, conseguir obter financiamento por outras fontes, para suportar custos elevadíssimos, como é o caso dos ensaios clínicos”. A Cell2b é uma empresa de biotecnologia que actua na área da saúde dedicando-se ao desenvolvimento de terapias celulares para tratar doentes transplantados e eliminar o problema da rejeição de órgãos.</p>
<p>“O projeto tecnológico surgiu no âmbito do doutoramento de dois dos fundadores e a sua materialização numa empresa e de avançar com a tecnologia para o mercado resultou da decisão dos quatro elementos da equipa”, explica Daniela Couto adiantando que “a tecnologia foi desenvolvida no âmbito de um projeto de colaboração entre o Instituto Português de Oncologia de Lisboa (IPO) e o Laboratório de Bioengenharia de Células Estaminais do Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)”. Diz a empreendedora que “esta terapia celular já foi administrada em sete doentes ao abrigo de uma autorização especial e o sucesso da sua aplicação motivou-nos adesenvolver e disponibilizar a terapia a todos os pacientes que dela necessitem”.</p>
<p>A terapia celular desenvolvida pela Cell2b foi concebida para tratar doentes que apresentam sinais de rejeição após transplante de medula óssea. Neste momento, o projeto Cell2B emprega os seus quatro fundadores, mas reúne também um conselho científico e estratégico de seis pessoas de renome internacional para pensar no desenvolvimento científico e posicionamento estratégico do projeto.</p>
<p>Para os quatro empreendedores, “a Cell2b é única no mercado”. Daniela Couto adianta que “os métodos de tratamento da rejeição após um transplante apenas tentam intervir perante os sintomas mas não existe uma terapêutica atualmente no mercado que revele eficácia na cura. Não há nada no mercado semelhante ao que a Cell2b se propõe desenvolver”.</p>
<p>Os primeiros passos na criação deste negócio passaram pelo desenvolvimento de um plano de negócios detalhado, com um bom plano financeiro e estratégico para apresentar a investidores e também para ajudar os fundadores a estruturar o que queriam para a empresa. Neste caso específico, era fundamental ter acesso a um espaço para produção da terapia com condições muito próprias. “Este espaço é muito difícil de alugar e extremamente dispendioso para construir de raiz. Perceber onde e como o poderíamos construir foi dos primeiros passos, ainda antes da formação oficial da Cell2b”, adianta Daniela.</p>
<p>Neste momento a empresa está a negociar a entrada de capital de risco para financiar o projeto e os empreendedores estão atentos a todas as oportunidades quer a nível nacional quer a nível internacional. A expansão para diferentes áreas da transplantação é uma meta dos quatro empreendedores que têm na mira actuar no campo das denominadas doenças órfãs que afectam um reduzido número da população e para as quais ainda não há qualquer tratamento eficaz. “O desenvolvimento de tratamentos para este tipo de doença é normalmente mais rápido e apresenta o custo reduzido em comparação com uma terapêutica comum. Posteriormente, pretendemos expandir para a área de transplantação de órgãos sólidos, ou seja, evitar rejeição de órgãos como o coração, o fígado ou o rim. Estes são mercados maiores, que afectam um maior número de pacientes”, enfatiza Daniela Couto.</p>
<p>A Cell2b é assim um projeto 100% luso que nasceu em pleno contexto de crise como resultado da convicção e determinação de quatro jovens, com idades entre os 26 e os 28 anos que acreditam que podem fazer a diferença para muitos doentes. Uma prova de que Portugal também sabe fazer bem.</p>

<p>The Portuguese news magazine &#8220;Visão&#8221; focused on the potential of stem cells in cellular therapy and regenerative medicine. In particular, the 4-year old girl appearing on the cover was one of the 7 patients enrolled in the clinical project between Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Lisbon and the Stem Cell Bioengineering Lab &#8211; Instituto Superior Técnico. The rare disease that Beatriz had in 2007 was treated with a bone marrow transplant (from his compatible older brother) in co-adminstration with ex-vivo expanded mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow of her father in order to improve the success rate of the treatment.</p>
