What magnitude of investment is requirement?
Major efforts are required for the sustainability and transformation of the economy. The climate-neutral and digital transformation in NRW requires high volumes of investment and financing from companies and the public sector.
According to various scenario studies, the European Union will have to invest between 758 and 1055 billion euros annually in industry, the energy sector, transport and the construction sector by 2050 in order to achieve successful decarbonization. For NRW, this means annual investments of between 61 and 85 billion euros.
How does Fin.Connect.NRW deal with the topic of financing?
Fin.Connect.NRW focuses on technical discussions and further developments in transformation financing. A regular exchange of experience and knowledge between the stakeholders takes place in various event formats.
To this end, information from practice and science is prepared and concrete recommendations for action are developed for banks, companies (especially SMEs) and for state policy.
Fin.Connect.NRW deals with the topic of financing in the "Financing and Funding" specialist group, in which members of the competence center can network with relevant stakeholders on specific topics and provide important impetus for NRW as a business location.
In addition, the topic of financing plays a central role in the Transfer specialist group, which focuses on the transfer of practice-oriented knowledge on transformation financing in the SME and banking landscape.
