Sector Investment Fund

Presentation

The Sector Investment Fund focuses on sectors that are strategic and fundamental for the national economy in order to consolidate them and create players with a strong potential to create value.

Along with the France Region Investment fund and the France Tourism Investment fund, the Sector Investment Fund (SIF) groups small- and medium-sized companies based on a common goal: to develop, consolidate, and transfer growing SMEs and ISEs in France. Together, these funds use multi-specialised, strongly industrial positioning to strengthen the skills and expertise of the French economy. They have already benefited more than 1,000 SMEs and ISEs through equity investments.

The Sector Investment Fund is part of Bpifrance Investment’s Growth Capital Department.
