The social impact investment fund has launched in Zagreb on October 3, EIF, which is part of the European Investment Bank group.

The EIF contributed to the fund with 15 million euro, which almost entirely covered by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the core of the Investment Plan for Europe, or Juncker Plan.
