Fibrenamics accompanied the visit of the President of AICEP, Madalena Oliveira e Silva, to two leading companies in Portuguese industry, TMG and RIOPELE, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between scientific knowledge, technological capability and industry in building innovative solutions with national and international impact.

With a strong presence in international markets, TMG Automotive and RIOPELE stand out as examples of industrial excellence, export capacity and continuous investment in innovation — areas that are essential to strengthening the competitiveness of the Portuguese economy and positioning the country in increasingly demanding global value chains.

This trajectory, marked by the ability to anticipate trends, invest in technology and develop differentiated solutions in their respective sectors, has been supported by a commitment to qualified partnerships capable of transforming technical and scientific knowledge into solutions with concrete industrial application.

It is within this context that Fibrenamics plays a relevant role as an innovation partner for these companies, participating in highly complex projects and significant investments focused on the development of new materials, new functionalities, new products and more advanced industrial processes.

With specialised expertise in the fields of fibrous materials, composites, product development, material functionalisation and knowledge transfer to industry, Fibrenamics has established itself as a platform connecting the scientific and technological system with the business sector, helping to accelerate innovation processes and support companies seeking to strengthen their competitiveness through differentiated solutions.

The collaboration with companies such as TMG and RIOPELE demonstrates the trust that leading industrial organisations place in Fibrenamics for the development of strategic projects. By selecting Fibrenamics as a partner in highly relevant innovation initiatives, these companies recognise the institute’s ability to respond to complex technological challenges, mobilise specialised knowledge and contribute to value creation in a business context.

AICEP’s presence during this visit reinforces the importance of close coordination between public entities, companies and innovation centres, at a time when international competitiveness increasingly depends on the ability to invest in knowledge, technology and strategic collaboration.

For Fibrenamics, this participation represents recognition of its role as a scientific and technological partner for leading companies capable of turning innovation into a real driver of growth, internationalisation and differentiation. More than simply following the evolution of industry, Fibrenamics has actively sought to contribute to enabling Portuguese companies to develop more advanced, sustainable solutions aligned with the demands of global markets.
