When the Export Directory of Portugal was launched, in 1960, it was intended as a media that would fulfil the need that then existed to publicize worldwide the names and the potentialities of the main Portuguese exporting companies.

The years have past. Years of Portuguese history reflected in major transformations in the national economy, and we have continued the task we undertook, having over time widened the scope of the publication to encompass the main Portuguese companies, their products and services, from all sectors of the Portuguese economy, from the traditional to the newest developing ones.

It is also in that sense that we launched our Internet site, Exportugal.com,  which is just another step forward that brought us, and the companies we publicize, even closer to the right business contacts.

Now, that more than ever it is necessary to make known, both in Portugal and internationally, the best of what this country produces in terms of products and services so as to reach more and more markets with them, Exportugal.com intends to continue being an important tool for that purpose.

We will certainly proceed on the path we have always seen as our own of providing the means to enable the contact between Portuguese companies and those seeking their products and services. It is in this context that we think we can continue to play a useful role in the development of the Portuguese economy.
