Does my project have to be based in the

EU to be published on the Portal?

Does the Portal

provide financing?

Is the Portal linked to

EFSI?

Is publishing a project on the Portal free of

charge?

As an investor, do I

have to be EU-based?

Yes. However, cross-border

projects with non-EU countries are also permitted as

long as the investment takes

place, at least partially, in one of

the EU MS.

The EIPP does not provide financing.

It acts as a bridge between

EU-based project

promoters and investors

worldwide.

No, the publication of a project on the

Portal is neither a guarantee of,

nor a precondition for obtaining EFSI

financing.

Yes, publication is free for all projects.

No. Investors can be based anywhere in the world.
