Barreiro City Council and Startup Portugal signed, on March 21st, a collaboration protocol to support and promote the ecosystem of startups and scaleups in Portugal, facilitating the growth of emerging companies.
«This is a pioneering partnership that will serve as a pilot project for the implementation of memoranda of understanding or similar protocols with other municipalities across the country» says the note from the municipality sent to the newsrooms.
Frederico Rosa, president of the municipality, highlighted «the importance of this understanding as we are linked to an ecosystem larger than us, to other startups, entities and organizations that not only understand each other but also create bridges, synergies and connect paths.
For António Dias Martins, executive director of Startup Portugal, this signature “is proof that it is possible to carry out active public policies to promote and attract entrepreneurship from municipalities and regions, and it is not necessary to depend solely on the central executive power to do so . CMB was one of the first to join this initiative and it is with great satisfaction that we are here.”
The new 2023 startups law that provides additional conditions to leverage companies, thanks to the application of PRR funds, vouchers for startups and vouchers for incubators that also promote entrepreneurship, among other matters, was praised by António Dias Martins who believes that «we have never had such good conditions in Portugal to undertake.
