Partner with us

Norfund invests on commercial terms. We are an active investor, offering patient long-term capital.

Norfund invests in sustainable and profitable private companies and projects in developing countries (ODA-eligible), operating within our defined sectors and geographies.

Through local presence we seek solutions designed for the countries in which we invest. As a minority investor, we seek to mobilize capital and attract other competent investors to our projects.

We help our investees achieve high standards of governance and environmental and social performance.

We strive to be lean and efficient, with short decision-making processes.
