Verlingue Portugal Unites Leaders to Drive Construction Forward

On November 6, Verlingue Portugal hosted the 2nd Expertise Session Conference in Vila Nova de Gaia, bringing together public and private leaders to discuss the future of the construction industry — a key sector representing over 10% of Portugal’s GDP.

The event focused on major challenges such as financing, public works, labor shortages and the role of digitalization. Keynote speakers emphasized the need for a triple transition: digitalization, industrialization and sustainability, to strengthen competitiveness and resilience.

True to its mission — “We Protect the Future” — Verlingue Portugal unveiled its exclusive Construction Risk Management Manual, designed to help companies improve risk literacy and build a stronger, more resilient sector.
