The Portugal 2030 Annual Call for Tenders Plan was published today, allowing citizens and companies to find out, from now on, the upcoming calls to be launched in Portugal 2030, with clear benefits for those wishing to apply for support from European funds to plan their activities and investments.

In this first plan, there is a total of 412 calls for tenders to be launched by the managing authorities of Portugal 2030 and the Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund (AMIF), mobilising 6.2 billion euros of European funds,These will be distributed across various policy objectives and the country’s various regions, in the social, economic, environmental, maritime, and territorial areas.

In total, it amounts to more than 8 billion, providing a significant boost to the operationalisation and execution of Portugal 2030.

The first Plan is structured over three quarters, from September 2023 to August 2024, with particular detail in the first quarter (the one following its approval). It provides information to characterise the calls to be published, such as objectives, strategic, programmatic and regulatory framework, beneficiaries, eligible actions, associated amounts, and territory covered.
