Portugal 2030: Incentives and Support for Industrial Warehouses

Eligible investments include energy efficiency (solar panels, thermal insulation, LED lighting), automation and robotics, warehouse management systems (WMS), digitalization of logistics processes, and space adaptation to meet environmental standards. The minimum investment varies by call, but typically ranges from €25,000 to €50,000.

Co-financing rates range from 40% to 75% of eligible investment, depending on company size, region and project type. Micro and small enterprises in less developed regions benefit from the highest rates. Incentives can be repayable, non-repayable or mixed.

Yes, tenants can apply for several Portugal 2030 programmes, provided they have a lease agreement with sufficient duration (typically equal to or longer than the investment obligation period, usually 3-5 years). Removable investments such as equipment and automation systems are easier to justify than structural works.

Application calls are published throughout the year by IAPMEI and ANI. For 2026, calls are planned under the competitiveness and internationalization, digital transition and climate transition axes. We recommend monitoring the Portugal 2030 portal and subscribing to IAPMEI alerts to avoid missing deadlines.

The complete process typically takes 6 to 18 months: 1-2 months to prepare the application, 3-6 months for analysis and decision, and after approval, payments are made in tranches as the investment is executed. It's possible to start the investment after submitting the application, assuming the risk of non-approval.
