CDP SpA InvestEU Fund Guarantee Agreement

We support investments in research, the green transition and sustainable infrastructure, helping to improve access to finance and foster growth.


In 2023, CDP signed a guarantee agreement with the European Commission aimed at strengthening its capacity to support investments by public and private entities. Three financial products were created to: 

  • support companies investing in research and development, energy efficiency and electric vehicle charging infrastructure;  
  • finance the development of sustainable and social infrastructure;  
  • invest, through a fund-of-funds structure, in affordable social housing initiatives. 

For Businesses | RIDW General Debt

The InvestEU Loan is aimed at companies seeking to invest in research and development, energy-efficiency initiatives, environmental protection projects, and the development of environmentally sustainable vehicle charging infrastructure. It provides medium-and long-term financing backed by an EU guarantee covering up to 50% of the loan amount, enabling borrowers to benefit from competitive lending conditions and improved access to credit.

For Infrastructure | SIW/SISW General Debt & SIW Thematic Debt

InvestEU Infrastructure Financing is intended to support the development of sustainable and social infrastructure projects. Senior loans, backed by an EU guarantee covering up to 50% of the financing amount, may support projects in the energy, transport, water, circular economy, digital, telecommunications and social infrastructure sectors.
CDP may also provide subordinated financing (so-called junior loans), backed by an EU guarantee covering up to 70% of the financing amount, to support investment projects in the areas of "clean energy and low-carbon innovation", "future mobility", and "water resources".

For Social Housing | SISW Intermediated Equity

Indirect CDP equity investment, through a fund of funds managed by a financial intermediary, in real estate funds dedicated to the development of affordable social housing initiatives (see Annex II, point 12(d)(ii) of the InvestEU Regulation). The investment, backed by an EU guarantee covering up to 50%, is aimed at increasing the supply of housing in Italy, with the objective of alleviating housing deprivation in municipalities under high pressure and in disadvantaged areas where the risk/return profile of investments is such that they do not attract sufficient capital to cover financial requirements.

Fund manager selection process

CDP selected a financial intermediary to manage the fund of funds, in accordance with the principles of open, transparent, proportionate and non-discriminatory procedures set out in European law.

InvestEU Operations Sustainability Proofing Summary
