New measures restrict construction across 71,000 hectares

📍 Lisboa🚇 Infrastructure#government-policy+3 more

The government has approved preventive measures for the proposed new Lisbon airport that cover 71,000 hectares across seven municipalities, ECO reports. From Saturday, urban operations in Alcochete, Benavente, Coruche, Montemor‑o‑Novo, Montijo, Palmela and Vendas Novas now require a positive opinion from the National Civil Aviation Authority (Autoridade Nacional da Aviação Civil or ANAC). Property developers, homeowners and municipal planners in the affected areas should check whether planned works now need ANAC sign-off.

ANAC (Autoridade Nacional da Aviação Civil) is Portugal's national civil aviation regulator, responsible for safety oversight, licensing and economic regulation of airlines, airports and ground-handling services. It oversees tenders and issues licences such as the recent ground-handling awards for Lisbon, Porto and Faro, so its decisions directly affect airport operations, service providers and related jobs.

📍 Lisboa💶 Finance💼 Work#economic-activity+3 more

AICEP and Fórum Oceano are formalising a joint protocol this Tuesday, the 16th, aimed at boosting the internationalisation of the Portuguese blue economy, supporting the expansion of sector companies abroad, and attracting strategic investment to Portugal. The agreement is being signed during the Oeiras BlueTech Ocean Forum 2026, an event gathering entrepreneurs, investors, research centres, policymakers, and international experts to discuss innovation, investment, and sustainable development related to the ocean. According to AICEP, the partnership intends to strengthen the national capacity to attract capital, accelerate the internationalisation of innovative companies, and foster new high-value-added projects in maritime areas. Madalena Oliveira e Silva, president of AICEP, highlighted that the blue economy is one of the areas with the greatest growth potential for Portugal and that the protocol will strengthen the international promotion of Portuguese companies, as well as the country's standing as a global hub for ocean innovation. Planned initiatives include training programmes, outreach actions, and business networking activities, focusing on sectors such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, and renewable energy. The protocol comes at a time when the blue economy is gaining weight in the country's economic strategy, both for its ability to generate qualified employment and technological innovation, and for the sustainable valorisation of marine resources. Bruno Esgalhado states that Portugal cannot miss the 'Blue Economy opportunity'.

Sicasal creditors decide on sale to Portral for 11.5 million and a 76.2% debt haircut

📍 Lisboa⚖️ Legal💶 Finance#legal-reforms+1 more

Sicasal creditors are meeting at the Sintra court to vote on an insolvency plan that includes selling the meat company to Portral for 11.5 million euros. The plan involves a 76.2% reduction in debt for common creditors, who will receive only 23.8% of their claims. While employees, tax authorities, and social security are expected to be paid in full, the total sale proceeds will only cover a small portion of the 46.4 million euro debt owed to approximately 400 creditors. The operation aims to ensure business continuity and job retention, as the company faces an ongoing investigation into whether the insolvency was caused by the actions of its partners and administrators.
