Madeira firms have until 4 December to apply for €24 million in operating cost support

A €24 million scheme covering operating costs for Madeiran companies accepts applications until 4 December.

Companies in Madeira have until 4 December to apply for support under the Funcionamento 2030 – Outros Custos de Funcionamento scheme, which has a total allocation of €24 million.

Grants can reach €20,000 for microenterprises and €25,000 for small, medium and large companies, with a base co-financing rate of 30%. Part of the Madeira 2030 programme, the measure aims to ease the lasting structural difficulties linked to remoteness, insularity and the small size of the regional market.

The funding comes from the European Regional Development Fund and the regional budget, and is managed by IDE. Applications must be submitted through the Balcão dos Fundos by 5pm on 4 December 2026.
