Portuguese Funds​​​


National funds are a good opportunity for external financing to help you boost your business projects. These are funds managed by public entities that are organized into programmes and tenders aimed at supporting and financing expenditure or investment activities in any area that you are going to undertake in your company (research and development (R&D), Productive Capacity, Environment, Competitiveness, Recruitment of Human Resources, Internationalization, etc.), which must be structured into individual projects or in cooperation with other entities.

At HS Consultores, we specialize in National Programs for the most diverse investment projects, with a special focus on R&D and innovation projects. We can help you define your project, look for the best funding option or identify partners to create a consortium, if necessary. After this first phase, we prepare applications for a wide range of financial support programs and manage the entire application process. Finally, once funding has been awarded, we can also help you with technical and administrative management.

Areas in which we work
At HS Consultores we prepare proposals for various national programmes (Portugal 2030, the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), the Environmental Fund, the IEFP, the Innovation Support Fund, among others), organizing ourselves into investment areas so that we can focus on the project and not the programme. This is the only way we believe it is possible to innovate.

Our work therefore focuses on:

  • R&D+i
  • Digitalization and competitiveness
  • Productive investment
  • Energy efficiency and the environment
  • Business training
  • Internationalization

For all these areas, we have developed an efficient and rigorous working method based on achieving specific objectives, seeking to maximize incentives, both financial and fiscal, according to what we know of your project and entity.

Do you have an idea in mind?

Our team will help you make your projects a reality and advise you throughout the process.
