STEP Initiative: Support and Financing for Companies | Yunit Consulting

 

 

Planning new investments in innovation, product development, or the expansion of production capacity requires a clear understanding of the available community support.

STEP (Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform) is a European Union initiative created to strengthen the continent's industrial and technological autonomy, reducing external dependencies in critical sectors. In Portugal, the operationalisation of these incentives is carried out through the Portugal 2030 programmes.

In the video below, our R&D Consultant, Paula Marques, summarises the four priority investment areas — Clean Technologies and Energy Efficiency, Biotechnology, Digital Technologies and Deep Tech Innovation, and Defence Technologies — and explains the main eligibility criteria for submitting applications.

To understand in detail the framework of this programme, the technical requirements, and the support rates applicable to your project, read our detailed article on the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP).
