Bison Bank has been honoured with the ‘Innovation and Development Award’, a prize awarded by the Association of Chinese Companies in Portugal (ASCP) that recognises the institution's role in developing digital asset solutions and strengthening economic relations between Portugal and China. 

According to the Portuguese investment bank, this recognition comes at a time of great maturity in bilateral relations, reinforced by the Portuguese Prime Minister's official visit to China in September 2025. The meeting consolidated the digital economy and technological innovation as priority areas for co-operation, at a time when 46 years of diplomatic relations are being celebrated.

Bison Bank believes that the current economic scenario validates the institution's strategy, given that China's Foreign Direct Investment in Portugal has maintained 14 years of consecutive growth, reaching a record stock of €12.1 billion in March 2025. With China consolidated as the 6th largest investor in Portugal, Bison Bank positions itself as a facilitator in an economic sector.
