Investments on global markets

Case example: Swedish heat power going global

Swedish Baseload Capital is an investment entity established by three Swedish venture capital companies and Climeon, a Swedish cleantech vendor, for the development of renewable energy projects. Loan financing from Nefco enables Baseload Capital to expand Climeon Heat Power technology to global markets. Each deployment will result in significant CO2 reductions as well as economic benefits, and contribute to scaling up Nordic green technologies.

What?

Nefco can provide loans or equity-type funding to Nordic companies for green projects and investments carried out on global markets, outside the Nordic countries.

The purpose of this financing scheme is to facilitate investments in green solutions and technologies with up-scaling potential and demonstration value on international markets where Nordic companies have identified the best opportunity for market growth, international expansion, and a high probability of project realisation.

Financing under this scheme is offered to Nordic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-cap companies for investments in a subsidiary or affiliated company that will be established or is already operating in an eligible project country. In certain cases, large Nordic companies can also be considered for funding. Typical funded projects could relate to green investments in facilities, machinery, equipment or technology needed for production or business development in the project country.

The maximum financing is normally EUR 5 million. The funding is provided as loans on market terms, and equity-type investments can also be considered.

Who can apply for funding?

Nordic SMEs and mid-cap companies that provide environmentally sustainable products or services, have at least three years of operational history and are planning an international investment can apply for funding.

The project to be funded shall be located outside Nefco’s owner countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). Priority is given to projects that have a high demonstration value in the targeted project country and where the provided green solutions have substantial upscaling potential.

Nefco requires borrowers to meet reasonable financial criteria, but the primary focus is on the positive environmental impacts of the project. In addition to the environmental aspects, we always examine the technical feasibility and financial profitability of all financed projects.
