Esta oportunidad está disponible actualmente en inglés.
The loan can finance machinery, equipment, technology and internal resources needed to expand production, sales, business development or other scaling operations. Nefco targets investments that take proven environmental solutions into international markets.
Technology Readiness Level (TRL) describes how close a technology is to full commercial use. Nefco normally requires TRL 8–9: a complete system that has been demonstrated and is commercially proven, rather than an early-stage concept.
Eligibility
- Your company must be a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden. It must offer an environmentally sustainable product or service, have a solid commercial track record and plan an investment that directly supports international expansion.
- The investment must align with at least one objective in the EU Taxonomy, the EU classification used to identify environmentally sustainable economic activity. Nefco also assesses measurable environmental benefit, technical feasibility and financial viability.
- Early-stage startups are not eligible. The solution must normally be technologically and commercially proven at TRL 8–9.
- An investment in a Nordic country can exceptionally qualify when it has strong demonstration value and potential to scale globally.
