The fi-compass Showcase Award 2024

The theme of the fi-compass Showcase 2024 is ‘Driving positive change: the impact of financial instruments’. Entries should show how financial instruments are able to support businesses and/or EU citizens to drive positive change in people’s lives, fuelling sustainability and stimulating growth.

Financial instruments supported by all participating EU shared management funds (ERDF, EAFRD, ESF+, EMFAF and AMIF) are eligible to participate and we look forward to receiving submissions by all stakeholders: managing authorities, holding funds, financial intermediaries, final recipients etc.

Contributions should be submitted in the form of a short video (duration 1-5 minutes) via email to the fi-compass team at showcase24@fi-compass.eu by the deadline of Friday, 31 May 2024. You can focus on the financial instruments’ objectives, implementation process and/or the results. It’s important that you describe one or more projects supported by the instrument to show us the impact of the investment. You should gather insights from final recipients or other stakeholders involved to make your story more complete and richer.

Submissions will be published gradually on the dedicated Showcase webpage and on FI-Compass social media channels. Don’t forget to also share your contribution within your own social networks, making sure to tag @ficompass and #ShowcaseAward24.

Shortlisted submissions will be shown at the upcoming FI Campus event on 25-27 June 2024 in Brussels. The FI Campus event and Showcase Award are organised by the European Commission in partnership with the European Investment Bank fi-compass platform for advisory services on financial instruments under EU shared management.
