Very positive balance for Portuguese companies

The more than one hundred Portuguese companies attending HANNOVER MESSE’22 made thousands of contacts that will result in good business follow-ups, said Luís Castro Henriques, AICEP Chairman & CEO, at the closing press conference. Engineering, Digital, Energy and Automation were the areas that sparked the greatest curiosity, in particular hydrogen and sustainability, industrial metaverse/digital twins, robotics, cybersecurity, metalworking and start-ups.

HANNOVER MESSE is the Champions League Fair and Portuguese companies showed, once again, that they already play in this league”, said Luís Castro Henriques.

AICEP Chairman & CEO also said that HANNOVER MESSE will bring more investment to Portugal, more partnerships to the Portuguese companies and hundreds of millions of euros more in exports over the next three years.
