Portugal 2030 (PT2030) puts into practice the Partnership Agreement between Portugal and the European Commission to apply €23 billion of European funds to projects that stimulate and develop the Portuguese economy, between 2021 and 2027.
With a view to improve the lives of the European citizens and, in particular, of the Portuguese people, the implementation of the programme aims at:
- A more competitive and smarter economy;
- Ensuring the transition to a sustainable and carbon-neutral economy;
- The creation and improvment of strategic transport networks;
- More social and inclusive measures;
- Promoting social and territorial cohesion addressing citizens’ needs;
- Ensuring a green transition, accompanying the climate emergency and incorporating the goals of Paris Agreement.
Portugal 2030 is structured in 12 types of programmes:
- Thematic programmes: Compete 2030, Pessoas 2030, Sustentável 2030 e Mar 2030.
- Regional programmes: Norte 2030, Centro 2030, Lisboa 2030, Alentejo 2030, Algarve 2030, Açores 2030 e Madeira 2030.
These are complemented by Technical Assistance Programmes, which deal with the coordination and management of the funds, and the European Territory Programmes in which Portugal also participates.
