Page contentsPage contents About the programme The InvestEU programme builds on the successful model of the Investment Plan for Europe that mobilised more than €500 billion in the period 2015-20. With the aim of triggering a new wave of over €372 billion in investment in the period 2021-27, the InvestEU Programme will boost innovation and job creation in Europe. It will provide and attract long-term funding in line with EU policies and contribute to economic recovery. InvestEU will leverage substantial private and public funds that are protected through an EU budget guarantee that builds on the successful implementation of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). InvestEU will have a budgetary guarantee of €26.2 billion funded from NextGenerationEUresources and the Multiannual Financial Framework. The overall investment to be mobilised is estimated to be more than €372 billion across the EU, of which 30% will contribute to climate objectives. The programme will be structured around four 4 policy windows: Sustainable infrastructure Research, innovation and digitisation SMEs Social investment and skills Strategic investments focusing on building stronger European value chains as well as supporting activities in critical infrastructure and technologies will be possible under all four windows. They will cater for the future needs of the European economy and promote EU autonomy in key sectors.
