Companies can already apply for the COTEC Innovative Statute

Applications for the COTEC Innovative Status, a seal of reputation that the Business Association for Innovation created with the support of the Directorate-General for Education and Science Statistics (DGEEC), can be submitted until 5 March. The aim is to distinguish national companies with a high innovation performance.

This statute also intends to promote the public recognition of companies that create value for the country in terms of innovation, to create a network of partners with benefits for innovative companies and to guarantee better financing conditions for them.

Consult the regulation to know if your company meets the requirements of the seal created by COTEC Portugal.

The application for the Innovative Status is made from the IPCTN19 - National Scientific and Technological Potential Survey 2019 form, under the responsibility of DGEEC.

If you have filled in IPCTN19, just submit a copy of the form sent to DGEEC. If you have not done so, you can fill in the form online.
