Swedfund International

Swedfund is Sweden's Development Finance Institution for sustainable investments in developing countries. In order to achieve the goal: a world without poverty, more jobs are required in the private sector and that access to renewable energy is increasing. Investments are therefore made within energy & climate, health and to reach small and medium-sized companies. As a state-owned company, Swedfund is managed by the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation. The operations are financed partly through capital injections for which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible and through reflows from the own portfolio. Swedfund was founded in 1979 and has since the start made more than 240 investments in more than 60 countries. Swedfund's head office is located in Stockholm, and it holds a regional office in Nairobi, Kenya. View our news at MyNewdesk, www.mynewsdesk.com/swedfund
