This new instrument, InnovFin Infectious Diseases, was established within the InnovFin - EU Finance for Innovators family of instruments and will provide loans to high-risk projects in the area of infectious disease R&D and reinvigorate and attract co-investment from other investors by incentivising R&D activities for an uncertain market. It can be accessed by small, medium and large companies, research infrastructures, universities, non-profit organisations, and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) established and operating in one or several of the EU Member States and Associated Countries.
