Invest-NL has taken a significant step in facilitating access to European financial guarantees for Dutch sustainable and innovative projects. A guarantee agreement between InvestEU and Invest-NL, which will result in reduced investment risk, was signed today in Brussels in the presence of Minister Micky Adriaansens (Economic Affairs and Climate), EU Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni (Economy) and Rinke Zonneveld (CEO Invest-NL).
The InvestEU programme is an initiative of the European Union aimed at attracting private investments to enhance economic growth, innovation, sustainability, and employment and to facilitate access for companies to these opportunities. In InvestEU, various European financing instruments have been consolidated to mobilise more capital.
The societal and economic challenges of the future demand innovative solutions and bold investments. As the National Promotional Institute, Invest-NL's mission is to finance what seems impossible to Finance. One of Invest-NL’s mandates is to obtain access to European capital.
Thanks to the guarantee agreement between InvestEU and Invest-NL, financing projects in sectors such as sustainable energy, Deep Tech, and demonstration facilities has become simpler. This agreement enables Invest-NL to reduce investment risk, ultimately stimulating more investments in sustainable and innovative projects. This not only promotes the sustainability of the Dutch economy but also strengthens its innovative capacity, improves its international competitiveness, and creates new jobs.
Invest-NL, as the National Financing and Development Institution, serves as important link between the public and private sectors and aims to foster a sustainable and innovative business environment in the Netherlands. By actively participating in European initiatives like the InvestEU guarantee scheme, Invest-NL contributes to the development of both a sustainable and innovative economy.
