Strategy and activities of NIA / Invest-NL

The Dutch cabinet intends to encourage investments in sectors where the Netherlands has not yet seized all opportunities. NIA /Invest-NL will offer a single contact centre for entrepreneurs and investors seeking risk capital, guarantees, export credit insurance and international finance programmes.
NIA / Invest-NL will develop and, where necessary, co-finance major public projects at home and abroad.
Up to this point many businesses and projects struggle to acquire financing due to uncertainty about the trade-off between risk and return or the long, uncertain payback periods of investments. NIA / Invest-NL will remedy this through a combination of existing financing instruments and a €2.5 billion capital contribution. This will also provide leverage, in the form of increased financing from institutional investors and European funds and programmes.

Core activities of NIA / Invest-NL
Invest-NL will first and foremost play a role in high-risk activities within various transition areas. Examples include energy (such as geothermal energy and charging points for electric cars), greening, mobility, food and the digitisation of industry. Public sectors such as health care, security and education also come within the purview of Invest-NL.
The institution will also assist start-ups and scale-ups through direct investments and on-lending structures (funds and fund-of-funds): innovative businesses that are still setting up or have just begun expanding their activities and require capital for further growth. Invest-NL is able to supply venture capital, for instance by acquiring an interest in a fund with investments in such businesses. Direct participation in expanding businesses is also an option for NIA / Invest-NL.
A third activity of Invest-NL is to support the international operations of Dutch businesses when it comes to export and foreign investments, especially by contributing solutions to global issues.Download Factsheet NIA
