Frequently Asked Questions

Invest-NL was established in 2019 to accelerate societal transitions. We do this with our capital, and by attracting capital from other parties. To this end, we utilise our expertise and our network. We work for the Netherlands of 2050. A country that runs on very different technologies, energy sources, and business models than now. So, we are working towards progress. That requires new ideas, and innovative entrepreneurs and projects. But if the risk seems high and the market hesitates, more is needed to kick-start transitions.

As a national financing and development institution, we are a private enterprise with the Ministry of Finance as our sole shareholder. We are not a government fund, but we are financed with public funds. We are a state participation at arm's length from the government. Similar to, for example, NS and De Nederlandsche Bank.

We are here for all entrepreneurs who want to innovate and make an impact, but struggle to secure the necessary funding because the market is not yet ready or the capital requirements are too large. These are often the entrepreneurs who are supposed to realise the Netherlands of tomorrow and are prepared to build a factory to make their product available to the market. But also established companies looking to develop new growth pathways, scale up, or expand. Or infrastructure projects and project developers seeking funding for capital-intensive infrastructure projects and energy or circular transitions. Our focus is on enterprises that have good plans for the transitions and for the future earning capacity of the Netherlands and that have difficulty securing conventional financing.

Did you know that the Netherlands had the highest recycling rate in Europe in 2022? But still three quarters of our materials come from new sources. Invest-NL helps companies to change that.
