Portuguese organizations have received various accolades for excellence in communication and business services.

In late September, the 15th OCI Awards recognized several companies for internal communication and academic contributions. Notable winners included Tabaqueira – Philip Morris International for its integrated strategy, Abreu Advogados for innovation and digital transformation, and Sogrape for change management.

By mid-October, recognition expanded to include nominations for the 2026 European Excellence Awards. EDP, Novobanco, REN, and NOVA FCT were named finalists in categories such as multichannel campaigns, change communications, and science and education. Additionally, Novobanco was recognized by Global Finance as the ‘Best Bank for SMEs in Portugal’ for the 2027 awards.
