Danish SMEs and Mid-Caps faced challenges in securing
Full Credential Description
Danish SMEs and Mid-Caps faced challenges in securing funding for green investments, which are crucial for their transition towards sustainability and competitiveness. To address this issue, the European Investment Fund (EIF) and Ringkjøbing Landbobank entered into a guarantee agreement that enables up to DKK 320 million in new green investments. This initiative is part of the European Commissions InvestEU program, aimed at facilitating climate change mitigation and sustainability projects, particularly in renewable energy sectors such as wind and solar power.
The tailored solution provided through this guarantee agreement is designed to improve access to finance for small companies looking to invest in green initiatives. By partnering with Ringkjøbing Landbobank, the EIF aims to enhance the bank's ability to support its customers in their green transition, thereby increasing their productivity and market competitiveness. The agreement not only strengthens the bank's position in the market but also aligns with broader European goals for sustainable development.
As a result of this collaboration, Danish SMEs and small Mid-Caps are expected to benefit significantly from improved financing options, which will facilitate their investments in green technologies. This initiative is part of a larger strategy to mobilize substantial private and public funds, ultimately generating additional investments that align with EU policy priorities, including the European Green Deal.
