Portuguese Promotional Bank

InvestEU is a European Union initiative aimed at promoting sustainable investments, innovation, and digitalisation. The agreement signed between the European Commission and the Portuguese Promotional Bank estimates that more than 3 billion euros will be mobilised for investments until 2027, aligned with the European Union's political priorities, such as the European Green Deal and the Digital Transition. 

The overall objective of the InvestEU Programme is to support financing operations that promote competitiveness, including research, innovation, digitalisation, economic growth, sustainability, job creation, and sustainable and inclusive economic recovery in the EU following the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

What are the priorities of InvestEU: 

• Support EU priorities: economic recovery, green growth, employment, and social welfare.
• Facilitate investment: simplify access to EU financing with uniform rules and a single contact point for advice.
• Attract investors: use the EU budget guarantee to attract private and public investors.
• Maximise EU funds: increase the impact of public funds by mobilising at least 372 billion euros by 2027.
• Improve the investment environment: support investment, structural reforms, and fiscal responsibility, making Europe attractive to businesses.
