How small steps can create greater impact
Focus on projects with high demonstration value
Our financing is targeted at small and medium-sized private and public projects (SMPs) that demonstrate new technologies or solutions with the potential to be replicated (referred to as demonstration value. Many of the numerous projects financed by Nefco are at the forefront of technological innovation and aimed at testing the application of Nordic green solutions with scale-up potential in local, non-Nordic contexts. The ultimate goal is to accelerate the green transition.
Providing high additionality
By connecting stakeholders and various financiers to relevant projects, we can provide high additionality and help our owners, other financiers, partners and customers to reach their environmental and sustainability goals.
Our risk financing for small projects, growth-phase companies and risky geographical areas supplements financing offered by the larger IFIs and other financiers. We also facilitate hands-on environmental advice and capacity building to enable our customers and beneficiaries to become better at mobilising additional finance.
Our environmental criteria and guidelines
We welcome project proposals aimed at generating positive environmental or climate-related results. Each and every project enquiry and application sent to us is assessed both against the EU Taxonomy and our own environmental and sustainability criteria.
We can invest in projects that help to boost the implementation of Nordic green solutions on a global scale. We are also willing to finance projects improving the ecological situation in the Baltic Sea, the Barents and the Arctic regions. We prioritise projects, which generate positive environmental or climate-related impact not only in the project country but also for the Nordic region as a whole.
