By providing financing, Finnvera strives to promote:

Finnvera supplements the financial market and we are teamed up with private providers of financing and public actors to find the best financing solutions for customers in different situations. We understand the risks of business operations but pay close attention to opportunities as well. We are ready to take risks when the project's chances of success are in balance with the risks. We cannot provide financing for projects that are deemed unprofitable. 

Finnvera’s strategy is adjusted so that the company is increasingly able to respond to new challenges in corporate financing. The focus of operations is shifted more on speeding up the growth and internationalisation of companies and on improving the financing options available for start-up enterprises.
