For the first time, we are witnessing a more structured integration of Large Companies into this ecosystem, consolidating their relevance in the evolution of the national economic fabric.
In recent years, European incentives have been predominantly directed towards Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), leaving Large Companies in the background. However, this dynamic is changing. Portugal 2030 is opening up new perspectives, allowing these economic agents to take on a more active role in accessing funding aimed at research, innovation, and sustainability. For the first time, we are witnessing a more structured integration of Large Companies into this ecosystem, consolidating their relevance in the evolution of the national economic fabric.
This alteration represents a paradigm shift, allowing Large Companies to stop being mere spectators and become protagonists in the innovation ecosystem. The opening of new funding instruments reinforces their investment capacity, creating opportunities to strengthen the national economy through research, development, and strategic collaboration with SMEs.
The recent Business R&D&I Call (co-promotion), launched on 31 January, is a clear sign of this change. For the first time, these companies can access European funds within the scope of collaborative projects, provided they are in partnership with SMEs, Small Mid Caps, and entities of the Research and Innovation System (ENESII).
The Mobilising Mini-Agendas of PT2030, inspired by the PRR Mobilising Agendas, boast a robust allocation of 149 million euros and a funding rate that can reach 80%, to reinforce industrial capacity and the specialisation of the Portuguese economy in the production of innovative, high value-added goods and services.
This call constitutes a unique opportunity for companies to integrate themselves into a dynamic ecosystem of strategic collaboration, amplifying the reach and effectiveness of their research and development capacity along the entire value chain.
On the other hand, another novelty is the Incentive System for Energy and Climate Transition (SITCE), which is also accessible to Large Companies. This programme is intended for investments in decarbonisation, energy efficiency, diversification of renewable energy production and circular economy.
With a global allocation of 300 million euros, co-financing can reach up to 100% non-repayable, depending on the project typology and company size. The pre-registration for Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency is already available, allowing for the anticipation of projects and the commencement of investments before the official opening of the call, expected in May, ensuring priority in the application analysis.
This evolution in access to incentives represents a new cycle for the Portuguese business landscape. Portugal 2030 not only redefines the rules of the game for Large Companies but also reinforces the importance of collaboration between different economic agents. These initiatives are not only a response to the demands of the global market but also an opportunity to strengthen value chains and consolidate the competitiveness of Portuguese companies in the long term.
