The operation entails the establishment of a guarantee scheme with the promoter to enable intermediated financing of innovative mid-caps in accordance with Horizon 2020 eligibilities.

The guaranteed portfolio will be composed of innovative mid-cap loans having eligible expenditures.

The Bank requires the promoter and the final beneficiary to act according to the provisions of the aforementioned directives as transposed into national law, as well as according to the provisions in the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC or Birds Directive 79/409/EEC if a sub-project has a negative impact on an area forming part of the Natura 2000 network.
The promoter and the final beneficiaries are private companies not operating in the utilities sector and not having the status of a contracting authority. The EU directives on public procurement are not applicable.
