Three new ERDF case studies
fi-compass released three new ERDF case studies from France, Greece and Sweden.
The REV3 Capital Hauts-de-France financial instrument was developed to help Hauts-de-France become the first carbon‑neutral region in France by 2050. Greece’s “Exoikonomo” programme tackled the lack of private investment in residential energy efficiency. ERDF equity financial instruments in Sweden achieved impressive outcomes supporting companies across sectors such as technology, life sciences, industry and cleantech.
Empowering workers: A new chapter for business ownership in Europe
Workers’ Buyouts (WBOs) are gaining momentum as a powerful tool to preserve jobs and ensure business continuity—especially for SMEs facing succession challenges.
fi-compass released a study assessing the use of ESF+ programme resources in support of workers buyouts. The assessment is further enriched with the mapping of WBO frameworks in France, Spain, Italy and Slovenia and in-depth case studies.
Insurance and Risk Management Tools for Agriculture in the EU
Climate related risks are a significant source of uncertainty for agricultural production, farm resilience, and the broader bioeconomy value chain. Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, leading to greater agricultural yield volatility, and resulting destabilising of farm incomes.
This fi-compass market analysis takes stock of the forms of support currently in place for agriculture insurance schemes and other climate adaptation de-risking schemes across EU Member States, providing recommendations on how to improve access to finance and mitigate climate risks.
Scale-Up: latest developments for energy efficiency financial instruments
The Scale-Up webpage has recently been updated to reflect the latest developments in how the ERDF supports energy efficiency through financial instruments.
The page highlights new case studies, updated guidance, and fresh insights into how managing authorities can design and implement scalable, sustainable financing solutions.
