PT2030 funding opportunities are outlined in the Call Publication Plan for 2026 recently released by the Portuguese Government, providing companies with visibility over upcoming funding under the Portugal 2030 programme.
This roadmap gives companies early visibility over upcoming calls, allowing investment projects to be prepared and aligned with eligibility requirements ahead of time.
€3.9 billion in funding calls expected in 2026
According to the published plan, around 220 funding calls, representing approximately €3.9 billion, are expected to be launched throughout 2026.
The programme focuses on competitiveness, innovation and sustainability, supporting projects across multiple sectors of the economy.
Early 2026 is expected to be particularly active
Nearly 100 calls are expected to open by April, making the first months of 2026 especially relevant for companies with investment projects under consideration.
Priority areas include productive and industrial innovation, digital transformation, research and development, decarbonisation, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility and water management.
Given the expected concentration of calls, early preparation will be essential.
Strategic Technologies (STEP) calls gain relevance
A key highlight of the plan is the launch of four Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) calls, scheduled for the end of January, with a combined budget of approximately €1.1 billion.
These calls target high-impact projects in areas such as energy transition technologies, digital and deep-tech solutions, advanced manufacturing and biotechnology. For technology-driven companies, STEP funding is expected to play a particularly important role.
Why this matters for companies operating in Portugal
The Call Publication Plan introduces greater predictability into a competitive funding landscape. By knowing which calls are expected and when, companies can better align investment decisions, internal resources and project timelines.
In practice, this planning can significantly influence the quality and viability of funding applications.
