Solancis challenged students on the Industrial Design course at the Higher School of Arts and Design of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (IPL) to create a piece made of Portuguese limestone “that would have to bring dynamics to the space where it would be presented”. The goal? To strengthen academia and industry. The prize? To exhibit the piece at international fairs.
On May 26th, the first STONEBYPORTUGAL gala was held, attended by several companies from the Portuguese Natural Stone sector and many important entities, including the Secretaries of State for Internationalization and Economy. The event was marked by the presentation of Portuguese Stone Architecture Awards and the public recognition of the work of many companies that have built this industry and of excellent professional careers, with the awarding of the Career Award. Célia Marques, Vice-President of ASSIMAGRA: ‘It was an evening full of emotions. From the presentation of Architecture Awards to the joint celebration of the merit of the excellence of professionals in our sector, it was a gala whose main objective was to pay tribute and create opportunities to share many moments of promotion of Portuguese stone.”

The RRP continues to reach companies and industry. The company I visited in Benedita, Solancis, from a traditional sector, knew how to introduce innovation and knowledge. With the RRP, companies are investing in digitalization, boosting their growth capacity. The indicators for 2022, with economic growth of 6.7% and maximum levels of exports, give us confidence to face the future. We cannot stop. It is therefore crucial that we continue to focus on the successful implementation of the RRP.

Once again, I have seen on the ground that the RRP is also reaching companies and industry. The company I visited today in Benedita, Solancis, from a traditional sector and a reference in Portuguese industrial exports, has been able to introduce innovation and knowledge. With the RRP, like hundreds of other companies, it is investing in digitalization, boosting its growth capacity. We are facing challenging times. However, the indicators for 2022, with economic growth of 6.7%, one of the highest ever, and maximum levels of exports, give us confidence to face the future. We cannot stop. It is therefore crucial that we continue to focus on the successful implementation of the RRP. Benedita, February 7, 2023.
