À propos
Part of the EIB Group, the mission of the European Investment Fund (EIF) is to improve access to finance for SMEs and small mid-caps in Europe. We do this by supporting emerging and established fund managers with equity investments and by designing debt financing instruments that share the risk taken by financial institutions when they lend to or invest in small businesses. We bring this support closer to entrepreneurs through our extensive network of partners and financial intermediaries in all EU Member States and associated countries.

🎉 #OnThisDay 16 years ago, together with Creandum, we backed with #venturecapital what is now the most popular audio streaming subscription service. Founded in 2006 to combat music piracy and offer a better alternative, it was one of the first companies to popularise legal music streaming on a massive scale. Of course we are talking about Spotify! Kudos to the Spotify, Creandum and EIF teams for making this investment a reality in 2008 🙌 Here's to many more years of innovation and growth #30yearsbold
