New Support Measures for Start-ups | Version 2.0 of the Startup Portugal Programme

In 2016, the STARTUP PORTUGAL PROGRAMME (“PSP”) was announced to create and encourage the Portuguese start-ups ecosystem, to attract Portuguese and international investment to create and develop companies, and to promote the internationalisation of Portuguese start-ups. Two years later, the STARTUP PORTUGAL PROGRAMME + (“PSP+”) is now being presented.

It aims to give a new impulse to the National Strategy for Entrepreneurship and to establish Portugal as a centre of excellence in innovation and in entrepreneurship at an international level.

To achieve this goal, it strengthens financial support and tax incentives, deepens the relationship between start-ups and the State and creates conditions to attract highly qualified talent, new companies and smart money to the country.
