It is a non-profit organization with over 300 associated companies represented on its governing bodies. CCILC has offices in Lisbon and Macao. It was the first European organization to promote business with China by organizing missions and providing useful information and support services to help associated companies operate more efficiently in both countries.

2. CCILC
The Portuguese-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded in 1978. It is
a non-profit private entity devoted to the development of the economic and commercial
relation between Portugal and the People’s Republic of China.
CCILC’s governing bodies include the most relevant industrial and financial groups in the
bilateral context, among almost 300 associated companies. Its head office is in Lisbon
and it has a representative office in Macao.
CCILC was founded before the re-establishment of the diplomatic relations between
Portugal and the People’s Republic of China. It was the first association of companies in
Europe promoting business with China through the organization of missions, providing
useful information and high technical support services, so that the associated
companies could develop their activities in both countries in a more efficient, informed
and safe way.
