Growth and entrepreneurship

Denmark’s prosperity is built on enterprise. Enterprise as in small and large businesses—and enterprise as in drive and initiative. That is what makes Denmark richer. And that is why it is crucial that we continue to create new businesses and give them the opportunity to grow.

  • Risk-taking capital for all of Denmark

    EIFO aims to strengthen access to risk-taking capital for companies across the entire country.

  • Better and simpler guarantee schemes

    It should be easy to have EIFO on the sidelines when a company seeks financing from a bank. In collaboration with Danish banks, we aim to create better and simpler guarantee schemes.

  • Anchoring growth companies

    We work to create conditions for companies that are gaining real momentum to stay in Denmark and Europe.

  • Investments in venture funds support ecosystems

    We support ecosystems by investing in Danish venture funds, which channel capital out to Danish companies.

The backbone of a strong economy

EIFO provides—together with banks, funds, and other actors—capital, loans, and guarantees for Danish entrepreneurs and SMEs. We invest both directly and indirectly through funds to ensure that good ideas are not lost and that more companies have the opportunity to take the next big leap.

At the same time, EIFO’s ambition is to increase the number of high-growth SMEs in Denmark. It is important to create the conditions for more of the companies that are gaining real momentum to want to stay in Denmark. This requires access to growth capital in the later stages so that companies can continue to grow without moving ownership, jobs, or ideas out of the country.

Danish entrepreneurs and SMEs are the backbone of a strong and resilient economy, and we must keep them in Denmark.
