Workshop | Additive manufacturing and the US market

Technological transformation and the need to adapt to the new demands of international value chains constantly impose challenges on modern industry. In a globalised scenario, adopting additive manufacturing technologies has become not just a driver of innovation, but a fundamental requirement to ensure competitiveness abroad. For the business fabric of the Aveiro district, expansion into high value-added geographies requires specialised knowledge, rigorous planning, and solid partners. It is within this macroeconomic framework of B2B internationalisation that we present our latest initiative.

Free event gathers experts to discuss business opportunities in additive manufacturing in the US. Next June 16th, AIDA CCI – Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Aveiro District promotes, at its facilities, a Workshop dedicated to additive manufacturing for the American Market.

The initiative is aimed at companies from various activity sectors with the potential to implement additive manufacturing technologies, and aims to make Portuguese companies aware of existing business opportunities in the additive manufacturing sector in the United States of America. Starting at 09:30, the workshop will take place at the AIDA CCI facilities and will feature the participation of benchmark speakers, including a representative of AmCham Portugal and the CEO of Void Software, a company with proven experience in internationalisation in the North American market.
