ADE – Aveiro Digital Export
The Aveiro Digital Export (ADE) Project, promoted by AIDA CCI – Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Aveiro District, aims primarily to empower SMEs in the Aveiro district for exporting, using digital channels as a lever for digital transformation and international expansion. The project runs from January 2020 to March 2023 and is funded by the ERDF with an amount of €633,915.93 under the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalisation.
Through this project, AIDA CCI aims to encourage the use of digital technologies to improve the performance and reach of regional companies, helping them to better position themselves in international markets. Among the planned activities are the 60 Digital Labs, which are training sessions for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, focusing on the use of digital platforms to support internationalisation. These sessions will be held across several municipalities in the Aveiro district.
In addition to training, AIDA CCI will provide resources such as the Guide to Digital Export, the Digital World Book, and studies on best practices for digital export among SMEs. The project also includes practical actions such as prospecting visits and participation in international trade fairs in strategic markets like Dubai, Canada, United States, Netherlands, Italy, and Tokyo. These initiatives aim to promote local companies and attract international investment to the Aveiro district.
By the end of the project, companies are expected to be better prepared to meet the challenges of digital exporting, enhancing their competitiveness and sustainability in the global market. With its continued support, AIDA CCI aims not only to promote exports but also to digitally transform local businesses, fostering innovation and internationalisation.
