The National Association for Clothing and Textile (ATP) together with the agency for investment and external commerce from Portugal (AICEP) organised a promotional event in Brussels to brand the Portuguese sustainable fashion and convince Belgian investors to invest in Portugal. Fashion from Portugal 4.0 is the brand new campaign for the upcoming years. In 2016, ATP focused its attention in four main markets: Germany, Spain, the Nordic countries and the United States. The excellence of the previous project exceeded all expectations and received the European Enterprise Promotion Award (EEPA). ATP aims to reinforce its position in those markets and invest in new ones; namely Belgium.

Multiple companies, designers and investors from Belgium attended the ATP meet in Belgium. Portuguese Ambassador António Alves Machado underlined that 2018 is an important year for the relationship between Belgium and Portugal.
