Investment Plan for SMEs and Mid-caps

At least a quarter of EFSI Funds (€15bn) are made available to projects by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps via the “SME Window” provided through financial intermediaries such as banks or venture capital funds. The “SME Window” is coordinated through the European Investment Fund (EIF) and implemented by the National Promotional Institutions in cooperation with local financial institutions. The €5 billion SME Window is expected to generate total investments of up to €75 billion for SMEs and mid-caps in the 28 EU Member States by summer 2018.
