In a business ecosystem still marked by bureaucracy and a lack of knowledge regarding Community incentives, Yunit Consulting emerges with a disruptive proposal: the Portugal 2030 Simulator, a free digital platform that promises to transform how Portuguese entrepreneurs evaluate and access support from the current Community framework.

Developed in partnership with Santander Portugal, the Portugal 2030 Simulator responds to a pressing need: to equip companies with an objective, accessible, and practical tool capable of estimating a project's eligibility for the main Portugal 2030 incentive systems in under six minutes.
With an intuitive interface and uncomplicated language, the platform allows for calculating the potential non-repayable incentive value, simulating different investment scenarios, and quickly identifying the best financing solutions, combining public support with equity or bank capital.
“Bureaucracy cannot continue to be an obstacle to the innovation and growth of our companies,” highlights Bernardo Maciel, CEO of Yunit Consulting. “With the simulators, we place in the hands of entrepreneurs a tool that restores their autonomy, confidence, and strategic vision.”
In this first phase, the platform provides simulations for four major areas:
The simulators allow testing over one million possible investment combinations, considering the company's size, sector, and location. The tool does not replace the formal application but offers a robust diagnosis to support strategic decision-making.
Aimed at entrepreneurs, financial managers, and decision-makers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Small Mid-Caps, the Simulator is especially useful for:
Strategic partners too — such as banks, accountants, or business associations — can use the platform to guide clients in identifying financing opportunities, through partnership with Yunit Consulting.
With a 97% accuracy rate in the simulations performed, the Portugal 2030 Simulator represents a qualitative leap in the relationship between entrepreneurs and European funds. After each simulation, companies can request direct support from Yunit in preparing the application, ensuring specialised follow-up and a strategic approach to the process.
“Our commitment does not end with the launch of the tool,” reinforces Bernardo Maciel. “This is the starting point for a new way of communicating support, closer, more transparent, and more effective.”
With only 29% of Portugal 2030 funds approved by 31 March 2025 and an execution rate still below 7%, the national challenge is clear: accelerate investment and ensure that support reaches those who need it. The Portugal 2030 Simulator positions itself as the answer to this challenge, converting technical information into concrete business decisions.
By simplifying access to European funds, Yunit moves closer to its purpose: making SMEs into large companies. And it does so with what was missing most in the incentives universe — clarity.
