Entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives in Portugal

Overview

Entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives in Portugal have seen recent activity through both local corporate programs and international partnerships.

Energias de Portugal (EDP) launched the fourth edition of its Entama program, an Iberian initiative targeting eleven northern Portuguese municipalities. The program, which runs through mid-September, provides financial investment and mentorship to stimulate economic activity and counter depopulation in rural areas.

Concurrently, the Government of Pernambuco, Brazil, introduced the ‘Global. PE – Portugal’ program. This initiative funds a business mission for ten Pernambucan startups to connect with European investors and innovation hubs. The mission includes participation in events such as the Web Summit Lisboa and visits to technology parks in Northern Portugal, including UPTEC and Portus Park.
