The Energy of Matosinhos

With the land of the former refinery taking a new step towards a future of decarbonisation and innovation, Galp and its Foundation, together with the energy of their people and the most relevant local social and institutional partners, are implementing the projects that bring our community engagement plan to life: the Energy of Matosinhos.

Our work across our three strategic axes:
Access to energy, access to education, and reduction of inequalities

I

We promote collaborative innovation

Together with the municipality of Matosinhos, Galp and in partnership with the collaborative innovation consultancy Beta-i, we run Colmeia, an innovation programme that drives scalable solutions for sustainability challenges. By connecting national and international start-ups and innovators with local opportunities, Colmeia generates tangible impacts in Matosinhos.

Discover the winners of the 1st edition of Colmeia (2023) here and read the press release for the 2nd edition (2025) here.

We support education and inclusion

In partnership with EPIS - Entrepreneurs for Social Inclusion, we reward the academic merit of students in the municipality with university scholarships, helping to combat school dropout due to financial reasons.

We engage our volunteers

In 2024, we carried out nearly a dozen volunteering initiatives in Alcântara, involving the energy of over 120 employees, a commitment we will continue to renew in the years to come.
