Slovak Investment Holding

SIH manages over €1 billion in assets, primarily sourced from the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), and supports public and private investments in strategic sectors across Slovakia. SIH operates exclusively through repayable financial instruments—such as loans, guarantees, and equity—rather than grants, thereby multiplying the impact of state and EU resources. SIH’s investment focus includes transport infrastructure, energy efficiency, waste management, renewable energy, SMEs, social economy, and the cultural and creative industries.

Slovak Investment Holding stands out as a highly effective instrument for channeling EU and national funds into Slovakia’s strategic priorities. By focusing on repayable financial instruments rather than grants, SIH not only maximizes the impact of public resources but also fosters a more sustainable, investment-driven ecosystem. Its multi-sector approach and ability to adapt products to emerging economic needs—such as rapid COVID-19 response—demonstrate a high level of flexibility and expertise. SIH is widely regarded as a model for leveraging public investment to drive national development and innovation.
