Description
In 2024, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) provided around SEK 22 billion (€ 1.9 billion) in financing to Swedish businesses and municipalities. Over 65% of the funding supported the green transition, with investments in renewable energy, electrification and sustainable housing.
These investments helped maintain more than 32 000 jobs and strengthened Sweden’s leadership in innovation and sustainability. Notable projects included SKF’s R&D investments in electromobility, Chromafora’s efforts to eliminate “forever chemicals”, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and Tele2’s 5G expansion to reach 99% of Sweden’s population.
The EIF also played a significant role, mobilising an estimated SEK 3.8 billion in investments for Swedish businesses through capital investments and loan guarantees, benefiting over 5 300 companies.
