Are you doing business in an emerging market or a developing country? Or do you represent an investment fund that invests in businesses in such countries? Are you in need of assistance when it comes to arranging funding?
This page provides you with the possibilities that DGGF offers. Choose one of the three track that applies to your situation:
Track 1: Investing Dutch Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs doing business in emerging markets and developing countries often contribute hugely to economic and social improvements in these countries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs encourages this.
Do you want to invest in one of the DGGF countries but are unable to get financing from your bank? You can apply to the Netherlands Enterprise Agency for an investment of up to €15 million. DGGF supplements private investments by means of guarantees and direct financing with a repayment obligation, such as loans and equity investments in projects.
Track 2: Financing Local SMEs Local businesses find it difficult to get the financing they need. This means it is difficult to grow. This group is called the missing middle. These businesses have outgrown microfinancing but do not yet have access to regular financial services.
DGGF wants to expand financing opportunities for this so-called missing middle. Not by investing directly in local SMEs, this is much too difficult.
Track 3: Exporting Dutch Entrepreneurs Do you want to export capital goods to one or more of the DGGF countries? If so, the Exporting Dutch entrepreneurs track has the following possibilities:
Exporters of capital goods
Exporters of consumer or other goods
