The funds to be made available will mean increased support for an ecosystem which often faces difficulties in accessing finance due to the limited size of the market and demand uncertainty, among other issues. EU support will help these companies to scale up their activities consolidating their resilience and enabling them to face new challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, thanks to the capped guarantee under the InvestEU support for microfinance, social investment and entrepreneurship, and skills, the Catalan public financial institution will unlock finance for social enterprises, which often have trouble obtaining credit. ICF is expected to launch a dedicated social entrepreneurship product.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The agreement will foster job creation and empower businesses in this sector, thus strengthening their social impact. This also contributes to the objectives of the European Commission\u2019s Social Economy Action Plan, which aims to boost its economic and job-creation potential, for instance through improving access to finance for social economy enterprises, including via InvestEU.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ICF will have these two financing products available in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/culture-moves-europe-call-for-individual-mobility-of-artists-and-cultural-professionals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/culture-moves-europe-individual-mobility.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/culture-moves-europe-call-for-individual-mobility-of-artists-and-cultural-professionals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Culture Moves Europe: Call for individual mobility of artists and cultural professionals<br \/>\n<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About the European Investment Fund (EIF)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The European Investment Fund (EIF) is part of the European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group). Its central mission is to support Europe&#8217;s micro, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) by helping them to access finance. The EIF designs and develops venture and growth capital, guarantees and micro-finance instruments that specifically target this market segment. In this role, it contributes to the achievement of key EU policy goals such as competitiveness and growth, innovation and digitalisation, social impact, skills and human capital, climate action and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About InvestEU<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The InvestEU programme provides the European Union with crucial long-term funding by leveraging substantial private and public funds in support of a sustainable recovery. It also helps mobilise private investments for the European Union\u2019s policy priorities, such as the European Green Deal and the digital transition. The InvestEU programme brings together under one roof the multitude of EU financial instruments currently available to support investment in the European Union, making funding for investment projects in Europe simpler, more efficient, and more flexible. The programme consists of three components: the InvestEU Fund, the InvestEU Advisory Hub and the InvestEU Portal. The InvestEU Fund is implemented through financial partners that will invest in projects using the EU budget guarantee of \u20ac26.2 billion. The entire budget guarantee will back the investment projects of the implementing partners, increase their risk-bearing capacity, and thus mobilise at least \u20ac372 billion in additional investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About the Institut Catal\u00e0 de Finances (ICF)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ICF is Catalonia\u2019s public promotional bank and its main mission is to boost the growth of companies and other entities. It finances relevant, transformational projects through loans and capital, with special emphasis on the green transition, reindustrialisation and social housing. The ICF often supplements commercial bank lending, offering long repayment terms to facilitate debt repayment. Since 2014, it has been a member of the European Association of Public Banks (EAPB), which brings together many of the public banks and financial institutions operating in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eif.org\/what_we_do\/guarantees\/news\/2024\/spain-investeu-eif-and-icf-join-forces-to-mobilise-64-million-to-support-social-enterprises-and-cultural-and-creative-businesses-in-catalonia.htm\">European Investment Fund<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the support of the InvestEU programme, the European Investment Fund (EIF) will provide the Catalan Finance Institute (ICF) with a capped portfolio guarantee that will leverage \u20ac64 million in support of social enterprises and entities within the cultural and creative sector in Catalonia.
