What EU support really looks like in Portugal’s regionsWhen you look closely at the projects supported across the North of Portugal, the Algarve and the Azores, a pattern appears: they all make everyday life easier, safer and more hopeful for local communities.In the North, renovated cultural spaces and innovation hubs are giving small towns a new sense of purpose. These places bring people together — students, entrepreneurs, families — and help local talent grow instead of leaving.In the Algarve, climate and water-management projects are making a direct difference for people who live with droughts and coastal risks. Reliable water systems and stronger coastlines mean more stability for families, farmers and small businesses.And in the Azores, investments in mobility, education and research are opening doors that didn’t exist before. Young people can train, learn, and plan their future without feeling they need to move away from their islands.Across all three regions, the added value is clear:EU support becomes meaningful when it strengthens the daily life of the people who call these places home.#EUinmyRegion #Portugal #Communities #PeopleFirst #EUFunds
