Member News

As of 1 April 2023, EIFO has become Denmark's credit agency. All our ECA activities will continue and so will our engagement in the Berne Union. Our CEO is still Peder Lundquist, and our BU contact person continues to be Mariane Søndergaard-Jensen.

Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund (EIFO) is the result of a merger between EKF, the Danish growth fund Vaekstfonden and the Danish Green Investment Fund.

EIFO has been established as an independent public company owned by the Danish State and unifies the activities of EKF and Vaekstfonden. EIFO is a financing and investment fund backed by the Danish state and regulated by law. EIFO offers state financed risk capital and financing to all Danish companies.

Information on EIFO and its services can be found on the website. On a more practical note: We keep our EKF email addresses until further notice. We will keep you updated when there are changes to our contact details.
