AIDA CCI partners with the CMVM’s Market4Growth sandbox to accelerate business financing

AIDA CCI – Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the District of Aveiro – is a partner of the Market4Growth sandbox from the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM).

The Financing Challenge and the Role of the Sandbox

The path to accessing the capital markets can often seem complex and time-consuming for companies. The Market4Growth sandbox was created to mitigate this challenge, allowing companies to simulate processes that facilitate this access, with the support of experienced partners in their respective areas of expertise, including financial, legal, and sustainability aspects.
