Luis Escudeiro Shares Portuguese Incentives for Business

Podcasts, Presentations, and Proficiency

Luis Escudeiro is no stranger to navigating Portuguese bureaucracy. With his legal background and attention to detail, Luis founded IPBN member company ACT Solutions, whose mission is to help guide informed financial decision-making for startups, SMEs, and corporations looking to do business in Portugal. Thanks to his deep understanding of the types of incentives available in the country, he has helped numerous companies take advantage of the funding opportunities, which has in turn, allowed the companies to thrive and gain the attention they so desperately desire. 

Luis is an expert at providing funding solutions for investment projects, with a focus on incentives like Portugal2020, tax benefits, foreign investment, mentoring, and support to business activity. Through understanding and navigating these areas under his guidance, businesses can expect to create opportunities, stimulate and capacitate the Portuguese business fabric, optimize financing opportunities, and more with effective strategies tailored for each project.

In a recent podcast with the IPBN, Luis outlined the types of options available in Portugal, and how to go about accessing them. To add more fuel to the fire, Luis and ACT Solutions created an extremely valuable overview of the types of incentives companies should be aware of as they plan their next steps, and he shared it with the network. You can see the full presentation here.

Thanks to his leadership in this sphere, Luis has an incredible success rate with the projects he guides. The Escala25 project, mentioned in the podcast, was presented as a case study of how a burgeoning startup project was taken to the next level, awarded Portugal 2020 funds, and placed in the top three finalists of some 700 applicants for the 2023 Innovation in Tourism award run annually by Prémio Nacional de Turismo initiative in partnership with Expresso and BPI.

And that's just the beginning. Will your company be next?
