The Municipality of Gaia has launched the Business Route, a strategic initiative to strengthen ties with the business community and energize the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The first session took place at the emblematic Caves Ferreira, attended by dozens of entrepreneurs, the Mayor Luís Filipe Menezes, Vice-Mayor Firmino Pereira, Councillor Fernando Machado, and Municipal Director of Urban Planning, Carlos Bogas.
The meeting focused on consultation and sharing strategies for local economic development, highlighting the municipality's ambition to create a large advanced business hub in Gaia.
This project aims to attract high value-added investment, foster technological innovation, and boost skilled job creation, positioning Gaia as a leading economic hub.
The Business Route will continue in the coming months with decentralized sessions across the municipality, ensuring a close-contact policy and engaging all economic stakeholders.
