Connecting Europe Facility

Funding programme for projects of common interest in relation to TransEuropean Networks for transport, digital and energy infrastructure

Budget 2014-2020 €33 billion, of which 10% for financial instruments

Funding mechanism of last resort, where market reliance or regulatory
adjustments cannot achieve expected result

Financial instruments can include:
 Equity/risk capital to infrastructure projects or venture capital to SMEs with high
growth potential
 Guarantees to financial intermediaries that provide lending to infrastructure projects
 Other risk-sharing arrangements with financial intermediaries in order to increase the
leverage capacity of the EU funds in infrastructure projects and infrastructure RDI
 A combination of the above with other forms of EU financial assistance (e.g. grants)

EU Funding Portal

A collaboration between Scotland Europa, members and partners
Aim – to create a one-stop-shop for funding which will:
Phase I – launched end November 2014 in Beta
 Improve Scottish organisations’ knowledge of available EU programmes and support mechanisms
 Optimise use of different funds through improved signposting
 Provide a facility to capture Scottish activity across funds

Phase II
 Capture organisations’ interests,
create a referral system, and make
connections to other projects
 Provide Scottish organisations
with a platform to promote their
experience
 Provide Scottish organisations
with a platform to find project
partners and list current interests
 Provide Scottish organisations with
online project collaboration tools
