About

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is a European Union fund established to strengthen economic, social, and territorial cohesion across its member states by addressing regional imbalances. It operates under a shared management model, with funding delivered through national or regional programs managed by local authorities. The fund supports both public and private bodies, focusing investments on fostering innovation, supporting small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), and enhancing digital connectivity. For the 2021-2027 period, the ERDF has a total budget of €226.05 billion.

Investment profile
Investment thesis
The ERDF's core investment thesis is to correct economic, social, and territorial imbalances within the European Union by investing in infrastructure and services in less developed regions. This approach aims to attract private sector investments and stimulate job creation. The fund's decisions are driven by the goal of building a more competitive, smarter, greener, more connected, more social Europe that is closer to its citizens.
