The EIB financing supports investments addressing the market failures and gaps associated with imperfect competition and incomplete markets for very innovative and still market-entry stage technologies, and those associated with positive environmental and knowledge externalities generation. All investments in the programme loan are expected to contribute to the EIB Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability policy objective (80% of total project cost estimated).
The sub-projects to be financed under this programme loan will help the promoters to implement long-term innovation and commercialisation strategies usually entailing high investment risks. The financing will enhance the promoters' technology edge and capabilities, and support the development and deployment of new technologies and innovative, higher value-added products and services leading to long-term sustainable growth and profitability.
The financing structure under this programme loan is designed to address high-risk investments that are requiring long-term capital, so the EIB is additional in terms of both maturity and volume. A similar long-term financing structure is not available from other market players at comparable terms and/or within the same crucial timeframe. The EIB's expertise is pivotal in such transactions as they involve a highly customised structuring component, a key element of this innovative financing, and frequent monitoring to ensure consistency with policy objectives and implementation milestones.
