FMO (Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V.) is the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank, a development finance institution majority-owned by the Dutch state. It finances private‑sector projects in emerging and developing markets with a focus on sustainable economic development. Core sectors include financial institutions, energy (notably renewable power), agribusiness, and infrastructure.
FMO provides long‑term debt, equity, mezzanine finance, guarantees, and mobilizes additional capital through syndications and blended finance, working alongside local partners and other DFIs. Its activities intersect with the chemical value chain via financing for clean energy, circular economy initiatives, waste and water management, bio‑based materials, and sustainable agriculture—areas that influence feedstocks, utilities, and downstream processing. Established in 1970 and headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, FMO operates globally and applies environmental, social, and governance standards in its investment processes.
