Location

The Naval Industries Association is located in Lisbon, in the Rego Neighborhood. This area is part of the capital's urban fabric, characterized by a typical Lisbon atmosphere, with residential buildings and small shops. Although it is not an area with emblematic monuments, it offers a perspective of the city's daily life, integrated into the pulse of Lisbon's everyday existence.

A Pillar of the Portuguese Maritime Industry

Portugal's history is intrinsically linked to the sea, and Lisbon, as the capital, has been a central hub for this relationship. The Naval Industries Association, founded in 1963, is a living testament to this heritage. Originally designated as the Maritime Industries Association, its creation marks a milestone in the organization and representation of the naval sector in the country, a sector of strategic and economic relevance throughout centuries.

Importance for the Contemporary Naval Sector

Currently, the Naval Industries Association brings together a significant number of companies dedicated to naval construction and repair, consolidating efforts and expertise in this field. Its activity is fundamental for the innovation and development of the industry in Portugal. A clear example of its active role is its involvement in the training of future generations, through collaboration for the creation of the Arsenal Academy. This initiative, which combines educational institutions with entities such as Arsenal do Alfeite and the Association itself, underscores the commitment to the continuity and excellence of Portuguese naval engineering.
