Making the world Denmark's business

The world around us is changing faster than ever before. With increased geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological shifts, and constant movement in the markets, there is a need to strengthen Denmark’s resilience and competitiveness. This is EIFO’s core mission.

Five agendas are set to make a difference

As the country’s state-owned development bank and investment fund, EIFO has become an even more important lever and catalyst when some of society’s most critical challenges need to be addressed. This opens up new opportunities—and places new demands—on EIFO’s strategic priorities and trade-offs.

We exist to make Denmark richer. A richer Denmark is about both earnings and innovation. About the economy and ecosystems. And about national resilience and financial results. In this way, our purpose is simple, but our bottom line is always double—we always balance societal returns with financial returns.

Our strategic focus rests on this double bottom line. Five shared agendas define the business themes that EIFO pursues to realize its purpose.

  • Denmark's security

    Denmark and our allies face historically large investments in defense and security. It is about being able to do more and be self-reliant.

  • Innovative technologies

    Some ideas have the potential to change everything. But this requires them to move out of the laboratory and into the world.

  • Green transition

    If the world is to achieve the green transition, it requires solutions that work—at scale and on time.

  • Global business

    Denmark’s prosperity is built on our ability to think globally. We are a small country with large companies - and smaller ones that dream of growing.
