Additionality and Impact

The project supports the financing of small-scale investments carried out by SMEs and Midcaps in Italy. The project's policy impact is rated very good as it addresses market failures related to SMEs' constraints in accessing long term funding to finance their growth. Overall, the project is expected to have a positive impact on the economy also by promoting investments in the climate action and environmental sustainability sectors, particularly important following the energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. These projects are ultimately expected to generate positive externalities by providing environmental benefits and increasing the resilience to climate change, including through investments in Electric Vehicles, Agricultural equipment, Green economy and Photovoltaics.
