If you have a business or cooperative in the Azores, you can get a grant you do not have to pay back to make investments that help sell goods and services outside the region. The support covers up to 70% of costs for micro and small businesses, 60% for medium businesses, and 50% for large ones, provided you cover at least 25% with own funds. You can apply until November 30, 2026.
If you are on Terceira or Graciosa (Azores), you can get between 50% and 100% as a grant for sea-related projects: up to €50,000 of investment for businesses and up to €100,000 for non-profits.
If your SME has already done successful research and now wants to show the technology works in practice (with a demonstrator or pilot line), it can get support for that project, alone or with partners.
If you are a large company in the North, Centre, Alentejo or Algarve and want to invest to use less energy and pollute less, you can get support for new low-carbon equipment and technology. The open phase is only for large projects negotiated with the State (contractual regime).
If your SME in the Centre, Alentejo, Algarve or Lisbon region wants to research and develop new products or processes, it can get support for projects from €150,000, alone or with partners. Applications until 30 December.
If your company spends a lot on energy (at least 20% of production costs) or has seen raw material costs rise sharply, you can ask your bank for a publicly guaranteed loan to support cash flow: up to €100,000 for a micro company and up to €2.5 million for larger ones, repayable over up to 5 years.
If your company in the North, Centre, Alentejo or Algarve wants to invest in manufacturing digital, deep-tech or biotech products (including critical medicines), it can get a non-repayable grant for that productive investment.

If you live or work in the coastal parishes of Matosinhos, Póvoa de Varzim or Vila do Conde covered by this call, you can get a grant for projects linked to the sea, fishing and aquaculture: starting a business, innovating, saving energy or promoting heritage.
If you have a company in Alentejo, you can receive non-refundable support to use resources more efficiently and reuse materials in production. This funding covers between 40% and 50% of the costs, with possible increases in Alto Alentejo, for investments of at least 200,000 euros. You have up to 24 months to complete the project.
If you run a business in the Algarve, you can get a 60% non-refundable grant to make your company more sustainable. This funding covers projects up to €200,000 focused on energy efficiency and emissions reduction, with priority for tourism and industry.
If your company spends money on research and development, it can recover a large part (up to 82.5%) through a corporate income tax credit. The application for 2026 expenses is made on the ANI platform by 31 May 2027.
If your company invests in new machinery, equipment or technology, it can deduct up to 30% of that investment from its corporate income tax (in less developed regions), and sometimes get property-tax and stamp-duty exemptions. There is no application: your accountant claims it on the tax return.
