Getting to know the region, identifying opportunities and challenges

As part of their efforts to create socio-economic attractiveness in the region, the Municipalities have launched a wide range of incentives and grants aimed not only at residents, but also at those looking to work, live, create and invest here. The grants cover everything from housing renovation and upgrading to families, entrepreneurship and associations.

At the same time, the Aldeias do Xisto territory is covered by various grants offered at national and European level, which seek to boost low-density territories. The Portuguese government, through the various entities it oversees, along with the European Union, frequently launches programmes aimed at promoting the tourism sector, creating wealth and making this territory even more attractive.

Investment support in the region

The set of grants promoted by the Municipalities seeks to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants and make the Aldeias do Xisto territory one of the most attractive and best equipped to welcome new residents. Through funding programmes, tax breaks and specialised technical assistance, Municipalities encourage the creation and expansion of sustainable investments in the region. Many local authorities encourage urban regeneration and the settlement of inhabitants and businesses through tax benefits, tax exemptions and VAT reductions on renovation work.

Family support

Keeping families in mind, municipalities offer birth incentives: subsidies for nurseries, financial support during pregnancy and the first years of a child's life, the purchase of goods and products or, more indirectly, educational and cultural enrichment programmes. Young people also enjoy discounts on cultural and leisure facilities, as well as financial support to continue their studies at higher education institutions.

National and European programmes

The Aldeias do Xisto territory is covered by various grants promoted at national and European level. The Portuguese government, through the various entities it oversees, along with the European Union, frequently launches programmes that seek to boost the local and regional economy, either by supporting the creation of new tourism products or by promoting the development and expansion of existing businesses and infrastructures.
