Productive innovation support suspended with update of PT2030 Annual Calls Plan

SAPO14 September 2026 at 17:19

Productive innovation support under PT2030 has been suspended following the update of the Annual Calls Plan. This suspension affects COMPETE programme funding, which is conditional upon the approval of a specific methodology.

The methodology in question, proposed by the Managing Authorities of the ITD Network, concerns overbooking and the allocation of PT2020 reimbursements. Without this approval, the calls for productive innovation support cannot proceed.

The launch of these support measures now depends on the decision of the CIC (Investment Committee or equivalent body), which must validate the proposed methodology before any new call can be published.

Why this matters

Portuguese companies awaiting Compete funding for productive innovation projects now face an indefinite pause. The suspension directly affects SMEs and industrial companies that planned investments dependent on these incentives, conditional upon the validation of technical methodologies and coordination between managing authorities.

BRB removes former executives after Banco Master investigation

The Bank of Brasília (BRB) removed two former directors and three former superintendents suspected of involvement in irregularities in business dealings with Banco Master. Although they were removed from their positions at the end of last year, they continued working at branches because they are tenured civil servants, but now they also stop acting in these functions. The removal resulted from the opening of an administrative disciplinary proceeding (PAD) authorized by the Board of Directors three weeks ago. BRB bought R$ 21.9 billion in portfolios from Daniel Vorcaro's bank, with approximately R$ 12 billion showing signs of lack of backing and structural inconsistencies.
