Luxembourg – Tjenesteydelser i forbindelse med teknisk støtte – Innovation and Digitalisation Advisory Programme

Overall objective The overall objective of the Innovation and Digitalisation Gateway advisory programme is to scale up the provision of intermediated finance for Innovation & Digitalisation (ID). The capacity building programme aims to create an enabling environment so that financing providers can adapt and/or further strengthen their technical expertise and financial offering and, as a consequence, increase the amount of financing flowing in the innovative SMEs and mid-caps or innovative investments. The advisory support will be delivered through market development and awareness raising activities as well as capacity building across financial intermediaries. Purpose/Specific objectives The Innovation and Digitalisation Gateway advisory programme aims to strengthen the ability of FIs to scale up financing for innovation and digital transformation. It addresses market fragmentation, improves intermediaries’ technical and operational readiness, and enhances deployment of financial products focused on ID. The EIB aims at contracting a consultant (hereafter, the “Service Provider”) to meets its specific objectives under this assignment. The Programme consists of two core components: horizontal advisory support – including the eligibility checking webtool, helpdesk, market development, – and tailored bilateral advisory support to individual financial intermediaries. Scope of work This Assignment concerns the development and delivery of the advisory support package to support FIs under the Innovation and Digitalisation Advisory and Capacity Building Programme. The Programme shall provide capacity building, project advisory and market development support to FIs to scale up financing for innovation and digital transformation.
