Institut Català de Finances (ICF) is the public development finance institution of the Government of Catalonia. Established in 1985 and headquartered in Barcelona, it is mandated to improve access to financing for companies and projects based in Catalonia, with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), entrepreneurs, and strategic investments.
ICF provides medium- and long-term loans, guarantees, and equity financing, and manages investment vehicles that co-invest with private funds. It supports corporate growth, innovation, equipment and infrastructure, and sustainability and energy-transition initiatives. While not an industrial operator, ICF is relevant to the chemical sector as a source of financing for manufacturing upgrades, R&D, circular-economy projects, and supply-chain investments across Catalonia, often in partnership with commercial banks and European institutions.
