Economic success requires a reliable energy supply, stable infrastructure and modern means of transport. In order to achieve the goal of climate neutrality at the same time, investments in renewable energies and in the mobility transition are necessary. In addition, accelerating digital transformation is essential to maintain and expand material and intangible wealth in Germany, Europe and worldwide.

With our financing, we enable the international exchange of goods and data and support passenger and freight transport projects that rely on more efficient and resource-conserving approaches. For energy and technology projects, we offer tailor-made financing solutions, supporting initiatives aimed at advancing the ecological and digital modernisation of companies and infrastructure.

We strengthen economic output at home and abroad

Germany and Europe largely owe their growth and prosperity to the performance of the export industry. We are a financing partner for German and European companies that want to export their products all over the world. With our medium and long-term financing solutions, we contribute to maintaining the competitiveness and internationalisation of German and European export companies.

The high-tech country of Germany is dependent on imports for most of its industrial raw materials. This applies to energy sources as well as special metals, which are essential for innovative industries. We support German and European companies in meeting their needs in the long run. This strengthens the resilience of the economy and secures domestic production and jobs.

We support our customers as a reliable investment partner

At a time of major change, we are a reliable partner to our often long-standing customers in mastering the current challenges of digitalisation and the transition to climate neutrality. We see change as a shared opportunity that offers companies the chance to develop new technologies and thus expand their own competitiveness. With our structuring competence, we advise our customers individually and jointly develop financing solutions for their major projects in Germany, Europe and worldwide.
