AIDA CCI – Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Aveiro

Since 1986, AIDA CCI – the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the District of Aveiro – has played a strategic role in supporting the regional business ecosystem. With a multidisciplinary approach, it offers a wide range of specialised services focused on competitiveness, internationalisation and the sustainable growth of its member companies.

AIDA CCI is a key partner for companies looking to expand internationally. It provides direct support in issuing essential documentation for international trade, including certificates of origin, free sale certificates, ATA carnets and visas. These services streamline export operations and help companies strengthen their presence in global markets.

The initiative “Internationalise in Portuguese” fosters cooperation among companies from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP). This project follows previous initiatives such as SIGAME and GLOBAL PME, promoting international partnerships through business missions, roadshows and support tools.

As a certified authority, AIDA CCI supports exporting companies by issuing the required documentation. One of the key documents is the Free Sale Certificate, which proves that a product is authorised for free circulation in its country of origin, facilitating access to foreign markets.

Certified by DGERT, AIDA CCI offers professional and postgraduate training programmes tailored to the market’s needs. It operates modern training rooms equipped with audiovisual and IT resources, as well as a logistical centre to support both trainees and trainers.

To help companies meet human resources challenges, AIDA CCI provides a specialised recruitment service. It supports organisations in identifying the right candidates and accessing employment incentives, helping ensure the best match between talent and opportunity.

With an experienced internal team and a network of strategic partners, AIDA CCI delivers consulting services in key technical and management areas. All services are customised to each company’s sector and business needs, ensuring practical and effective solutions.
