#SFV2022 Talk with Leaders: Laura Catana, FASE, Germany

Discover how social investors can use EU funds to support the social economy by learning about the experience of the German Financing Agency for Social Entrepreneurship (FASE). FASE is operating the pioneering European Social Innovation and Impact Fund (ESIIF )— created to provide European early-stage social enterprises with the capital needed to scale their innovative solutions. ESIIF uses the EaSI Guarantee, meaning that any initial losses from investments in social enterprises will be covered up to 80% individually, with a cap of 20% of the total invested capital of the fund.
