AEP


Standing up for the interests of companies and offering services to make them more competitive


This is the mission of the Portuguese Entrepreneurial Association, Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AEP).

Based in Porto, where it was founded in 1849, it exists to promote and defend business and associative activities. 

This is achieved through the provision of services, especially tailored to the needs identified by its technical teams, or through dialogue with the companies it represents, and is characterised by diversity, experience in different sectors and its nation-wide scope.
