How can a small company that offers green solutions scale-up if it doesn’t already have assets needed to obtain financing from traditional banks? Meet the man with the answer – Trond Moe, Managing Director of Nefco, the Nordic Green Bank.

Before joining Nefco in 2018, Trond worked for 30 years in emerging markets, in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, including 15 years in Ukraine financing the mobile phone and internet infrastructure scale-up. Originally from Norway, Trond now lives in Helsinki, Finland, where he leads Nefco and its 50+ employees who focus on financing the scale-up of Nordic green solutions on global markets. Founded in 1990 by the five Nordic countries, Nefco has already financed and implemented over 1,500 projects in energy efficiency, renewable energy, clean water & sanitation, waste management and cleaner industrial processes, among others. To date, more than 600 Nordic growth companies have received financing from Nefco to scale up their green technologies and solutions on global markets.

Nefco is probably one of the first green banks in the world, and it is driven by the mission of accelerating the green transition. By not being afraid of the risk, the company is leading the green transition in the finance sector by example, and it is an embodiment of Trond’s dream - a world where all financing is green.
