Up to that point, \u20ac30.7 billion had been approved to support projects with an eligible investment of \u20ac47.1 billion, translating into an average funding rate of 65.2% on the eligible investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of the funds executed was \u20ac20.1 billion, or 75% of the value of the funds programmed (execution rate) and 65% of the total funds approved (realization rate). The amount of funds paid out to beneficiaries totaled \u20ac20.8 billion, which corresponds to 77% of the funds programmed in Portugal 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u20ac20.1 billion in executed funds is distributed among the various thematic areas, with the emphasis on competitiveness with \u20ac6.1 billion, human capital with \u20ac3.8 billion and rural development with \u20ac3.7 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although still far from 100% implementation, we can identify the contribution that Portugal 2020 has made to SMEs and business development. It would therefore be prudent for SMEs to pay attention to Portugal 2030 so as not to miss out on EU funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former, prrime minister Ant\u00f3nio Costa pointed out that Portugal 2030 could effectively be the last major EU support coming from Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning to Portugal 2020, its aim has been to effectively contribute to reducing regional disparities by concentrating support on the least developed regions. Support is allocated to the different types of region in the country and depends on the level of development of each region (the lower the level, the greater the support) (figure-1).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-815 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kenaz.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Imagem1-218x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenaz.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Imagem1-218x300.png 218w, https:\/\/kenaz.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Imagem1-9x12.png 9w, https:\/\/kenaz.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Imagem1.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure 1 - Funds approved and executed by region\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(source: Portugal 2020 - European Union Funds Newsletter of March 31, 2022)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portugal has four less developed regions (North, Center, Alentejo and Azores), one in transition (Algarve) and two more developed regions (Lisbon and Madeira).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we consider the \"share\" of each region in the impacts at national level, it is the North and Center regions that absorb most of the gains, representing 40.4% (compared to 37.9% of Portugal 2020 funds allocated to the region) and 23.5% (26.6%) of the total, respectively. This is followed by the AML with 13.7% (8.8%), the Alentejo with 12.0% (13.4%), the RAA with 4.6% (7.1%), the RAM with 3% (3.5%) and the Algarve with 2.8% (2.7%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, given that the location of the investment may contribute to a greater or lesser amount of financial support, it is important to emphasize that, when investing in Portugal, location will be one of the main points of emphasis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, Portugal 2020 has had a positive impact on companies, even if many consider it insufficient. There is no reason why Portugal 2030 should be any different, and this could once again be the last major EU program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being aware of Portugal 2030 is an important factor, and having a specialized consultancy that identifies opportunities and added value for companies is imperative.
