On April 10th 2024, the European Commission launched the application process to renew its Expert Group on Social Economy and Social Enterprises (known as “GECES”).
The Group will advice the Commission on the implementation of the SEAP and the Transition Pathway for the ‘Proximity and Social Economy’ industrial ecosystem and will be asked:
The European Commission (DG GROW) has launched a public consultation to gather feedback for its up-coming interim evaluation of the Single Market Programme (SMP) for 2021-2027.
The European Commission (DG EMPL) has published a call for proposal under ESF + "Social innovation call for proposals: actions to develop impact performance intelligence services for the social impact investing market actors”.
The purpose of the InvestEU Capacity Building Investment (CBI) product is to enhance the institutional capacity of financial intermediaries that have not yet reached sustainability, or that are in need of risk capital to sustain their growth and development.
This includes ‘greenfield financial intermediaries’ as well as all other intermediaries in the fields of microfinance, social entrepreneurship, or skills and education.
As an implementing partner of InvestEU, our portfolio guarantee products support investments for EU’s policy priorities over the period 2022-2027. The EIF, in its role of a guarantor, provides credit risk protection through portfolio (counter-) guarantees to selected financial intermediaries.
These are provided in the form of a capped or uncapped guarantee, and shall partly cover the credit risk of eligible debt financing transactions granted to predefined categories of final recipients and included for coverage in the portfolio(s).
