Since 1999, the EIF has supported Finnish businesses through equity, guarantees, and strategic debt, fostering innovation and green transformation.
Finland’s ecosystem has benefited from EIF’s long-term equity engagement and partnerships with national intermediaries, including multi-bank InvestEU sustainability guarantees, and venture capital and private equity funds – all designed to back startups and promote green growth.
Gigglebug Entertainment, founded in Helsinki in 2013, creates family-friendly animation - from TV series and movies to games and GIFs - designed to bring joy and wellbeing to new generations.
To finance its growth and international productions, the company secured a loan from Nordea, guaranteed by the European Investment Fund under the European Guarantee Fund, enabling it to expand its creative output across borders.
