The European Investment
Full Credential Description
The European Investment Fund (EIF) invested 75 million in the Serena Infra II infrastructure fund, which is managed by Serena Industrial Partners and has a target volume of 250 million. This investment is part of the InvestEU program, aimed at unlocking over 372 billion in investment by 2027. The fund focuses on early-stage projects in sustainable mobility, water, social or digital infrastructure, and energy transition initiatives, including biogas, biomass, and energy efficiency.
The specific challenge addressed by this investment was the need for substantial funding to support sustainable infrastructure projects that contribute to a low-carbon economy. The EIF's investment is designed to encourage the development of sustainable transport infrastructure and energy transition projects, which are critical for achieving climate action and environmental sustainability goals. The fund is expected to invest in a portfolio of eight to ten assets, with each investment averaging between 25 million and 30 million.
As a result of this tailored solution, the EIF is not only supporting the strategic priorities of the EIB Group but also fostering long-term value and resilience in economies through sustainable infrastructure development. This investment highlights the EIF's commitment to facilitating access to finance for projects that align with key EU policy goals, such as the European Green Deal and the digital transition.
