The 2026 edition of the event, taking place at the Lisbon Congress Centre, aims to bring citizens, companies, and organizations closer to the European Union's financing mechanisms and demonstrate the impact of European Funds on the country's economic, social, and territorial development, within the framework of Portugal 2030.
Organized by AD&C – Agency for Development and Cohesion, the Showcase will feature stands from Regional and Thematic Programmes, clarification sessions, round tables, project pitches, and other initiatives focused on knowledge sharing and debate on the future of cohesion policy.
The Portugal 2030 Desk will be available for technical and personalized assistance, helping beneficiaries and potential beneficiaries with access to European funds, understanding funding opportunities, and preparing applications.
The event hosts the European Funds Awards, which recognize projects funded by the European Union. The 2026 edition includes six thematic categories and the Public Choice award, with online voting until November 4th.
The initiative will be attended by Government members, representatives from the European Commission, and other institutional, business, and civil society entities, serving as a space to learn about funded projects, discuss challenges, and identify investment opportunities.
The European Funds Showcase is aimed at the general public, companies, and entities interested in understanding Portugal 2030, creating partnerships, and tracking the impact of European investments in Portugal. Registrations can be made on the event's official website.
