The Portugal Pavilion at Expo Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, hosts on March 8th a seminar organized by Portuguese associations representing Construction and Building Materials Cluster. 

At a time when Dubai is the world stage in different areas, with emphasis on construction, the purpose of the presence of Portuguese associations at the event is to present the national market in this sector and the Portuguese offer in construction materials, as well as experience in the areas of architecture, engineering and construction, promoting Portuguese companies and their international positioning in global markets.

The event, promoted in partnership by AICCOPN (Association of Civil Construction and Public Works Industry), APCMC (Portuguese Association of Building Materials), APICER (Portuguese Association of Ceramics and Domestic Glass Industries), ANIET (Portuguese Association of Extractive and Manufacturing Industry) and ASSIMAGRA (Portuguese Association of Mineral Resources Industry), is aimed to local decision-makers and influencers with an interest and business in this sector: construction companies; architectural, engineering and interior design firms; and importers and distributors of construction materials.

Construction and building materials are very relevant areas for the national economy, with a consolidated and vibrant business environment, but they also have a wide and prestigious presence in international markets. Portuguese building materials are distinguished by their quality, high performance, technological innovation, design, and sustainability. Natural stone and ornamental rocks, ceramics, cork, and other materials provide versatility and give sophistication to the most daring ideas advocated by modern architecture and decoration.

This seminar aims to promote the Know-How, competence and prestige of Portuguese companies, paving the way to strengthen commercial partnerships.

The event starts at 04:00 p.m. with a presentation of the Construction Sector, by AICCOPN, followed by a presentation of the Construction Materials Sector, by APCMC; the Natural Stone Sector, by ASSIMAGRA and ANIET and the Ceramics Sector by APICER. After the presentations, there will be a question-and-answer session and a networking cocktail with local partners at the Al-Lusitano Restaurant.

The event is organized in partnership with AICEP – Trade & Investment Agency, also the entity responsible for the Portugal Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020 and has the support of Portugal 2020.
