Grants and Incentives

The growing challenges to corporate competitiveness in an increasingly global marketplace and the need to secure the best financing conditions to support their growth and development have brought the theme of investment support and incentives to the top of organisations’ priorities.

In Portugal, various investment incentive systems are available at Community and extra-Community level, which allow companies to obtain public support in financing their projects, whether from an Internationalisation, Innovation, Technological Development or Qualification perspective.

We work on the various strategic aspects of Support and Incentives to create value for organisations, ensuring integrated consultancy and full monitoring of their needs, with a multidisciplinary team specialising in three dynamics: Community Incentives, Tax Incentives and Internationalisation.

We have developed a unique set of skills in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship financing, innovation management and research and technological development projects, combining expertise in these fields with a thorough knowledge of different sectors of economic activity.

Our investment consultancy and fundraising services for business development cut across all support programmes and measures, ensuring a response that addresses a diverse range of business needs and maximises available funding.

Types of Grants and Incentives

Public incentive schemes should be regarded as a source of available funding complementary to equity or bank credit, so they should not be ignored at the time of defining the financing structure of their projects.
