Financing options

We offer tailored financing for diverse needs of small and medium-sized companies. All our investments aim to deliver positive impact for the climate and environment.

Financing Nordic green solutions

At Nefco, we finance Nordic green solutions with the potential to scale globally. Our task is to accelerate the green transition. Every investment we make aims to deliver positive environmental and climate impacts.

Our approach is based on additionality. This often means that our financing is the decisive factor that transforms a green investment into reality. We expect more than a Return on Investment; we expect a Return on Impact.

Tailored financing for diverse needs

Nefco provides flexible financing options for small and medium-sized investments worldwide, on market terms. We are prepared to take financial risks if there is a clear green upside. 

Loan financing

Loans to Nordic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for scale-up on international markets. Typical range EUR 2-5 million, with larger amounts possible for companies demonstrating strong financial capacity. Investments within the Nordic region are also considered if they showcase innovative environmental technology or sustainable solutions with global potential. 

Blended financing

Blended loans and grants for public sector projects in Eastern Europe. Nefco currently operates in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. 

Financial support for feasibility studies 

Conditional loans up to EUR 50,000, which can be converted into a grant, for Nordic SMEs exploring internationalisation. Funding from Nopef covers feasibility studies to assess international establishment or demonstration project/pilot installation outside the EU/EFTA area.
