Reinvent the industry, build a sustainable future

I was re-elected President of the ATP – Associação Têxtil e Vestuário de Portugal Board for a new mandate, which will extend until 2025. With a period marked by an uncertain and volatile environment, the goal is to ensure the stability of a strong, credible, and active organization, moving towards the 60 years of existence celebration, and it will also renew and regenerate to design and build an even greater future for the entire sector.

ATP’s contribution to a Strategic Plan for the Sector by 2030

We are still recovering from a pandemic that no one anticipated, but that still today painfully conditions our entire life, and left deep marks throughout the Portuguese textile and clothing sector. The present is unstable and uncertain, as is the recovery we have witnessed throughout this year: it encourages us, but does not reassure us, since the future is something to be built, and none of us can safely anticipate it.

What future?

We are entering a new decade, and the next ten years will be filled with certainties and opportunities, which will only become a reality if we work them.

Win the future

Following 10 years of continuous growth, the Portuguese textile and clothing industry seems to be coming to a full cycle. Internal and externally, the change is happening, and a new paradigm for the textile and fashion business is forming at a great speed, demanding our full attention, so that the threats may be turned into opportunities – and that these may fully availed by most of the sector’s companies.
