Portugal expands gov.pt app with business funding and municipal services

The Portuguese government app, gov.pt, has introduced new features to enhance digital services for businesses and citizens. A new section within the Digital Business Wallet, titled 'Funds and Financing,' allows entrepreneurs, managers, and administrators to consult projects, support programs, and financing opportunities in one location. This update was developed by the Agency for Technological Reform of the State in collaboration with the Agency for Development and Cohesion.

Additionally, the app is expanding its municipal integration. Abrantes is among the first ten municipalities in Portugal, alongside cities such as Lisbon, Leiria, and Nazaré, to offer a digital Resident Card via the app. This feature allows residents to access municipal services digitally. The municipality of Abrantes intends to eventually use this digital card to provide benefits such as discounts on local commerce, transport, and cultural or sporting facilities.
