This newsletter will give you a brief insight into who manages these instruments, where to turn to for information specific to your case, how the new funding opportunities are different and more effective, and what you have to be aware of when planning to take part in the financial opportunities offered by the CIP.

· the High Growth Innovative Scheme, providing risk capital for innovative SMEs in their early stages and in their expansion phase;
· the SME Guarantee Facility, providing loan guarantees with the intention to encourage banks to make more debt finance available to SMEs
· the Seed Capital Action and the Partnership Action, helping to reinforce the capacity of financial intermediaries to invest in and lend to SMEs.
