Evidence snapshot for Coimbra
Portugal is piloting AI-assisted urban licensing in Coimbra as part of preparations for a nationwide electronic-licensing law taking effect in October 2026. The pilot uses a single-entry-point AI tool designed to help caseworkers process construction-licensing applications faster, with a stated target of licensing a factory within 50 days, while retaining final decision-making authority with elected officials. The evidence demonstrates Coimbra's role as a confirmed pilot municipality, though it does not quantify actual licensing times achieved or other outcomes beyond the stated 50-day factory target.
