As an association, we follow the market trends and try to advise our companies so that they can apply the best strategies given the current circumstances. And that's why we try to be present at the various international trade shows that can represent promising market niches.

We will set up a country island "From Portugal". So it will be easier for buyers to recognize our country, and they can buy the knitwear on the same island, find a manufactory and have a final product with technological inclusions, always keeping in mind the sustainability of the collection.
