Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) has launched a new funding call designed to support companies affected by recent storms, floods and extreme weather events.
The measure, published under Notice No. 06/C05-i14.01/2026, allocates €150 million to support productive investment projects that strengthen business infrastructure, improve operational resilience and reinforce productive capacity in Portugal.
Following the Government’s decision to extend the state of calamity nationwide after the recent severe weather events, the programme may be relevant to companies across the country that experienced operational disruption or material damage.
What the funding supports
The PRR “Reindustrializar” call focuses on productive innovation and structural reinforcement of business facilities.
Eligible projects may include investments that contribute to:
- Modernisation of production processes
- Diversification of production or business activity
- Productive innovation and technological upgrades
- Reinforcement of the physical resilience of facilities, equipment and infrastructure
- Protection of communications and energy systems against future natural events
The programme aims to help companies rebuild and adapt their productive capacity, while improving long-term competitiveness and resilience.
Who can apply
Applications are open to companies affected by the recent storms and floods, in accordance with the eligibility conditions defined in the notice and the areas covered by the state of calamity declared after the severe weather events.
Projects may qualify for support where the investment contributes to the recovery, reinforcement or adaptation of productive capacity, and the evaluation may consider the extent of the impact caused by the events.
Key figures and deadlines
Application deadline: 31 March 2026 (17:59)
Total programme budget: €150 million
Minimum investment: €100,000
Maximum number of applications: one per company
Projects must begin after the application is submitted, with the investment starting no later than 31 July 2026. The implementation period may extend up to 24 months.
Funding structure
Support is provided through a combination of non-repayable grants and, where applicable, complementary repayable financing.
Funding rates may reach:
- Up to 60% for productive investment, depending on the municipality and company size
- Up to 80% for Research and Development components
In certain project structures, complementary repayable financing may be available to support the remaining investment.
The exact funding configuration depends on the project characteristics and the rules defined in the official notice.
Eligible investment costs
Eligible expenses may include, among others:
- Machinery and production equipment
- Construction or works related to productive facilities (generally capped at 30%)
- Software and digital systems linked to the investment
- Research and Development activities associated with productive innovation
All investments must be directly related to the project and aligned with the programme’s objectives of strengthening productive capacity and resilience.
Planning and preparation
For companies impacted by the recent severe weather events, this call may represent an opportunity to restore productive capacity while improving infrastructure, efficiency and operational resilience.
Given the limited application period, projects will be assessed based on the quality of the investment plan, the technical consistency of the proposal and the ability to demonstrate resilience, innovation and economic impact.
Companies considering an application should therefore ensure that the scope, budget structure and supporting documentation are carefully prepared in advance.
