Frequently asked questions
What is the relationship between Industriebank LIOF and the Dutch government?
Industriebank LIOF is a regional development agency (ROM) chartered by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Province of Limburg. It operates as an independent foundation with a supervisory board that includes government representatives. Its investment capital is drawn from public funds allocated to regional economic development.
Does Industriebank LIOF invest only in Limburg-based companies?
Yes. LIOF's charter restricts it to companies that are located in or relocating to Limburg. Its dual mandate — financial return and regional employment growth — requires that portfolio companies maintain a material presence in the province.
What sectors does LIOF prioritize?
LIOF invests in sectors aligned with Limburg's industrial base. These include advanced manufacturing and materials, medical technology and life sciences, logistics and mobility, and agri-food. The firm also backs digital technology companies where they apply to regional industry.
Is LIOF considered a financial-first or a policy-first investor?
LIOF is a policy-first investor with a financial sustainability requirement. Its investment decisions are measured against job creation and regional innovation goals; financial returns must be sufficient to replenish the fund, but maximizing IRR is not the core mandate.
