Investment Fund for Developing Countries

Impact Fund Denmark, formerly known as the Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU), is a Danish state-owned development finance institution based in Copenhagen, Denmark, providing risk capital, advisory services, and co-investments to private sector companies establishing businesses in developing countries and emerging markets. Operating on commercial terms, the fund promotes sustainable development, the green transition, and inclusive societies through equity, loans, and guarantees, supporting both Danish and international private sector companies. The organization has committed investments totaling 202 billion DKK across over 100 countries since its inception. Recently, Impact Fund Denmark launched a new fund with a 5 billion DKK capital commitment, targeting a total of 30 billion DKK for future sustainable projects. Founded in 1967 by the Danish parliament, the entity reinvests its operational surpluses to continuously fund its development initiatives across its target markets.
