The program is implemented in partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and provides access to long-term financial resources targeted at micro, small and medium-sized enterprises as well as mid-cap companies( with minimum 250 and less than 3000 employees).
The product is designed with a focus on projects with a significant economic or environmental impact, with one fifth of its resources dedicated to green investments. A speiclized tool, the Green Checker, is provided to facilitate verification and documentation of the green nature of the investments. Funded projects should meet the EIB's eligibility criteria.
Under the program, the BDB transfers the financial advantage from the EIB to the business, and due to that the financing is at lower than standard bank rates.
