The EIF's activities encompass venture capital, private equity, guarantees, securitisation, microfinance, risk sharing, regional development, Fund-of-Funds, innovation, European tech, European life sciences, start-ups, scale-ups, the EU Green Deal, and InvestEU. The EIF's investment focus includes private equity, venture capital, and fixed income (debt and bonds), with a geographical focus on EU Member States and associated countries. The EIF's investment stages range from seed and early-stage investments to growth, late-stage, pre-IPO, buyout, turnaround, and distressed investments.
