Norfund is the Norwegian Investment Fund for developing countries, dedicated to creating jobs and improving lives through strategic investments. As a government-owned organization, Norfund plays a crucial role in strengthening the private sector in developing countries and reducing poverty. Norfund focuses on investing in businesses that drive sustainable development, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, with additional investments in selected countries in Asia and Latin America.

Norfund's investment areas include renewable energy, financial inclusion, green infrastructure, and scalable enterprises. They prioritize projects with strong potential for development effects and profitability. Through active ownership and business development support, Norfund enhances profitability and fosters lasting development effects, ultimately contributing to sustainable economic growth.

With a commitment to ending poverty, Norfund assumes more risk than most investors, aiming to maximize both economic and social impact. By investing in companies that generate jobs, provide goods and services, and pay taxes, Norfund actively contributes to economic and social development in the regions they operate. As a member of EDFI (Association of European Development Finance Institutions), Norfund aligns with international standards and fosters collaboration to drive innovation and achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
