"A business and housing park of 18 buildings will begin to be built at the end of this year in Oeiras, in the municipality of Oeiras, in a partnership between the largest Chinese construction company, called China Construction, and Teixeira Duarte. And in principle, when this park is finished, which will probably take two or three years, it will be, above all, to welcome Chinese companies that want to come here,"  explained António Martins da Cruz, president of the Oeiras Valley Investment Agency (OVIA).

The president of OVIA said that the CALB company, which is planning a battery factory for Sines, should locate its offices in Oeiras, adding that he had been contacted by two other Chinese companies, which operate mainly in the innovation and technology sectors, to establish themselves in the county.

In March, in an interview with the Chinese ambassador to Portugal, Zhao Bentang, he had already considered that the Oeiras project could attract investments from Chinese companies in the area of new energies.
