The Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO) is a financing fund backed by the Danish state and regulated by law. EIFO is the result of a merger of the three state funds – Vaekstfonden (The Growth Fund), EKF Denmark´s Export Credit Agency (EKF) and the Danish Green Investment Fund who all became subsidiaries under EIFO on 1 January 2023. By this means EIFO comprises both the national promotional bank and the export credit agency of Denmark, providing a single point of access for Danish companies requiring risk-tolerant government financing either through loan financing and equity investment for Danish companies as well as export finance.
The objectives of EIFO are to create the maximum possible social return by promoting growth and innovation in Danish trade and industry; promoting Danish trade and industry’s export and internationalisation opportunities, participation in the global value chain and cultivation of new markets; as well as contributing to a sustainable and green transition.
