LISBON, Portugal, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global e-commerce platform Temu and the Portuguese Association for the Development of Communications (APDC) today announced a new collaboration aimed at strengthening dialogue, knowledge-sharing and responsible digital commerce in Portugal.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding, Temu will join APDC's network of businesses, institutions, experts and public-sector stakeholders contributing to Portugal's digital transformation. The collaboration will provide opportunities to exchange perspectives on the evolving e-commerce landscape and the opportunities and responsibilities associated with digital marketplaces.
"At APDC, we believe innovation is at its strongest when it is shared. We are delighted to welcome Temu to our community and are confident that this partnership will help foster a more collaborative, innovative and transformative digital ecosystem," said Sandra Fazenda Almeida, Executive Director, APDC.
As part of the cooperation, Temu will join APDC as an institutional member and participate in relevant association activities and industry discussions. The two will also work together on a series of knowledge-sharing and business engagement initiatives:
