European Catalytic Impact Investing Fund II (ECIIF II)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targeted
Description of the Project
The European Catalytic Impact Investing Fund II (ECIIF II) is a Luxembourg-based impact venture fund investing in transformative European impact ventures with the objective of creating deep social and environmental impact at scale. The fund seeks to support entrepreneurs developing innovative solutions to some of Europe’s most pressing societal and environmental challenges.
ECIIF II takes a broad ecosystem approach by investing in both scalable impact ventures and mission-driven businesses that require patient capital to grow sustainably. The fund aims to build a diversified portfolio of up to 40 impact ventures across four key verticals: Education & Employment, Health & Care, Food & Agriculture, and Circular Economy & Climate Action.
A distinctive feature of the fund is its EUR 10 million catalytic guarantee from the European Investment Fund (EIF), which supports the fund’s ability to invest in impact-driven ventures that may not fit traditional venture capital models.
Innpact contribution
Since the launch of the fund, Innpact Fund Management S.A. has partnered with ECIIF II as its Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM).
