Investing in Social

It's not just a tagline for our social impact campaign. It’s about ensuring that every euro spent has an impact well beyond its financial journey. It fosters our support for social entrepreneurs and micro enterprises, empowering them with the requisite financing to generate the widest social impact possible. That’s why we extended support to microfinance institutions, social impact funds and social enterprises.

Culture shapes today. Creativity shapes tomorrow. Entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative sectors enrich our lives through their artistic expressions. Yet the nature of their work often means that these sectors face significant difficulties when it comes to finding financial support. This is why we launched a financing programme specifically designed to support these entrepreneurs.

The world changes fastly and we need to be prepared for the change. Thus, we work in support of students and learners of all ages who are looking for that financial boost that will allow them to invest in developing their skillset and meet the demands of the twenty-first century’s changing economic landscape.

We care about diversity and inclusion - these are core values at the EIF. Thus, we keep pushing ahead with our diversity agenda, making every effort to promote better gender balance across the venture capital ecosystem in particular, through financing, research and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
