Why the 200M initiative by the Portuguese government is worth looking into….

It is interesting to note that Portugal’s government is moving more into co-investing and investment models where government and EU funds are invested in innovative businesses, as well as partaking in innovative business actions by way of subsidies/ soft-loans.

Since my appointment onto the Executive Committee of Portugal IN, I have had the pleasure to learn of “200m”, the latest government initiative committing €200 million to co-invest with Venture Capital funds. The fund aims to attract VCs from all over the world providing the flexibility of not having to set up an office in Portugal.
