Webinar | global emerging 3d printing markets

The evolution of Additive Manufacturing and the exponential growth across various industrial sectors have been creating new opportunities for economic development and international strategic positioning. For Portuguese companies, anticipating demand and exploring the emerging 3d printing markets is the safest path to ensure leadership and innovation within the global value chain.

As new applications, technologies, and business models arise, it becomes fundamental to understand where the greatest growth opportunities lie and how Portuguese companies can establish themselves in this global context.

With the aim of promoting knowledge sharing and deepening reflection on the global additive manufacturing markets, AIDA CCI is hosting, on the 24th of June, the webinar “Global Emerging Markets for 3D Printing: Where Portugal Can Lead”, aimed at companies that develop or utilise Additive Manufacturing solutions.

Integrated into the Inov.AM Agenda and framed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), this initiative is supported by the NextGenerationEU European Funds, clearly contributing to the reinforcement of innovation, knowledge transfer, and business competitiveness. You can also discover the actions of our Chamber regarding the internationalisation dynamics of the industrial sector.

Exploring the emerging 3d printing markets

The growing adoption of 3D printing in crucial sectors such as industry, healthcare, mobility, and construction is strongly driving the demand for innovative and sustainable solutions, opening new opportunities for Portuguese companies.

In this context, understanding international trends, identifying emerging markets, and knowing the factors of competitive differentiation becomes essential to support the most demanding internationalisation and growth strategies.

During the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to discover specialised perspectives on the evolution of global 3D printing markets, as well as reflect on Portugal’s real leadership potential in this cutting-edge sector.
