It will invest in the EU 28 member states and pre-accession countries. Commitments were received from the European Investment Bank, and five national promotional banks: the Polish Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the French Caisse des Dépôts Group, the Italian Cassa depositi e prestiti, the German Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau and the Spanish Instituto de Crédito Oficial.
