OVIA took part on 5 December in the Winter Gala of the International Sharing School, an OVIA member institution renowned for its contribution to diversity, talent development and educational innovation in the municipality of Oeiras. The Investment Agency was represented by its Secretary-General, Tiago Sousa Dias, joining a vibrant international community that brought together more than 250 families from around 40 nationalities.
The event also included the participation of ASA Lawyers, likewise an OVIA member, further reinforcing the collaboration among entities that make up the institutional and business ecosystem of Oeiras Valley.
The Winter Gala, held in the iconic Preto e Prata Hall of Casino Estoril, marked the sixth edition of this annual celebration, which has become a major social gathering for the international educational community of Oeiras. This year’s event was further distinguished by the presence of Oeiras City Councillor Pedro Patacho, who delivered a speech highlighting the essential role of the International Sharing School in integrating international families, promoting educational excellence and strengthening Oeiras as a global, inclusive and forward-looking territory.
With more than 600 students enrolled in the current academic year, the International Sharing School stands as one of the strategic pillars of Oeiras Valley’s attractiveness, contributing decisively to the retention of international talent and reinforcing the municipality’s positioning as a European reference in science, technology, education and quality of life.
The participation of OVIA, ASA Lawyers and municipal representatives in this event underscores their joint commitment to fostering a dynamic, collaborative and increasingly international ecosystem aligned with the strategic ambitions of Oeiras Valley.
