ENGINEERING & TOOLING
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
In an environment of globalization and rapid technological evolution, the challenge of competitiveness forces companies to develop additional skills and implement innovative models of organization, strategy and cooperation.
Surviving in such atmosphere of extended complexity means that competitive advantages have to be promoted, developed and maximized. The emphasis should be placed on the development of skills which provide opportunities to maximize the knowledge, experience and technological potential. Therefore, the assimilation and efficient use of information together with the innovation play a vital role in the approach to the international market.
In a dynamic organization, interaction with surroundings, the establishment of cooperation networks, the correct identification of driving forces and the ability of the dynamics of change are key factors when developing strategies. In essence, such skills are critical to the success of organizations.
With this aim in mind, and as a result of concerted efforts, it has been formed by Cefamol — the Portuguese Moulds Industry Association a forum for reflection and debate on main trends and perspectives for the development of Engineering and Tooling Industry worldwide. This forum is the conference "Moldes Portugal 2010", which will be held in September 24.
