Industrial tours will be proposed under an extra fee. The programs will include Industrial Tour at one of the top companies operating in our region, as well as a typical Portuguese lunch and touristic program out of Porto. Buses with guide will depart from Porto (close to the Conference location, in downtown) and the program will take an entire day (June, 22nd 2023).

This is a good opportunity to learn a little bit more about technical issues related to Manufacturing, together with a little bit of Portuguese culture.
