Loans for green transition and digitalisation
Financing accelerates companies' climate solutions, innovations and digitalisation
Any new growth and export potential will increasingly be associated with the energy transformation and green transition. Digitalisation is the key to developing and renewing business operations. We encourage companies to seize new, emerging business opportunities.
Get acquainted with our new unsecured loan products that have been implemented in cooperation with the European Investment Fund with the support of the InvestEU Guarantee Programme. When granting loans, the green transition and sustainable development will be examined through the lens of corporate responsibility and good governance – aka the ESG criteria.
With these products, Finnvera does not primarily aim for the role of the main provider of financing.
What kind of projects can loans be granted for?
The InvestEU guarantee of the European Investment Fund (EIF) allows for favourable terms and conditions of the loan. All investments and beneficiaries are assessed during the application process, and they must meet the special criteria set by Finnvera and the EIF.
Special InvestEU terms and conditions are required for the loan, the signing of which is part of the contract entity. Read more about the InvestEU terms and conditions (pdf).
