US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Lisbon on October 8, on a visit that highlighted the strategic importance of the relationship between Portugal and the United States and the opportunities to deepen bilateral cooperation.
For the business community, this relationship holds significant potential to strengthen economic ties, stimulate investment and create new business opportunities between the two countries.
During the visit, Marco Rubio described Portugal as an “ideal gateway” for American companies seeking to access the European market, highlighting the country’s strategic position and its potential as a link between the United States and Europe.
Technology and innovation are also areas with significant opportunities for collaboration. Stronger cooperation in these fields could boost investment, foster new business partnerships and contribute to the development of solutions with an impact on both sides of the Atlantic.
At AmCham Portugal, we believe that a strong transatlantic relationship is built through dialogue, trust and collaboration between companies.
The challenge now is to turn this moment into concrete opportunities for partnership, investment and economic growth.
