The plan is to help SMEs by qualifying, modernising, and digitalising them to make them more competitive at home and abroad.
Funded by FEDER, the program offers co-financing of up to 50%, with eligible projects starting from €100,000 and running up to 24 months. Companies can tap into this opportunity to invest in innovation, digital transformation, branding, sustainability, encompassing sectors such as AI, big data, VR/AR, logistics, certifications, intellectual property, and eco-friendly practices.
The funding process is split into two phases: applications for Phase 1 are open until March 31, 2026 at 5pm, while applications for Phase 2 will run until June 30, 2026, also at 5pm.
Applications must be submitted via the Balcão dos Fundos (Balcão 2030) platform. Projects will be evaluated based on strategic fit, project quality, execution capacity, and regional economic impact.
For SMEs keen to apply, support is at hand through the Linha dos Fundos at 800 10 35 10 or by email at algarve2030@ccdr-alg.pt.
