Its role Investor / Financier
Invest-NL N.V. is the Netherlands’ state-owned impact investment institution. Established in 2020, it provides risk capital to accelerate strategic transitions in the Dutch economy, with a primary focus on the energy transition and the circular economy.
For the chemical industry, Invest-NL finances technologies and projects that reduce emissions and resource use, such as biobased and recycled materials, electrification, hydrogen, carbon capture and utilization, and advanced recycling. It invests across stages—from venture capital for deep-tech and scale-ups to growth debt, project finance, and guarantees—often co-investing with private and public partners to mobilize additional capital and improve bankability. Invest-NL’s mandate covers both company growth and first-of-a-kind industrial plants in the Netherlands, aiming to help promising processes reach commercial scale while meeting environmental and societal impact criteria.
