The Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) is an investment plan to be implemented at national level until 2026. A set of reforms and investments are foreseen in the plan to allow the country to resume sustained economic growth and strengthen convergence with Europe over the next decade. PRR is organized in 3 different dimensions:
- Resilience: improvement of economic recovery and increased capacity to react and overcome future crises and challenges in a transforming long lasting, fair, sustainable and inclusive way. Within the PRR, resilience is to be understood in all its aspects: social resilience, economic resilience, productive and territorial resilience;
- Climate Transition: a more sustainable use of resources, an increase in production of renewable energies and decarbonisation of the economy and society;
- Digital Transition: further training in digital skills that will allow the Portuguese to take advantage of the technological tools available in the context of the growing digitalization of the economic activity, maximizing the efficiency of their work and promoting their participation in a more inclusive market.
These three dimensions are subdivided in different components that include a robust set of measures in strategic areas.
The financial support granted amounts to 16.644 billion euros. Funding opportunities are available in the PRR website.
