Our Genesis
A Transformative Vision
The need to increase infrastructure investments was highlighted during the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in collaboration with the International Energy Agency (IEA). It was estimated that approximately $2.6 trillion will be required annually until 2030 to support economic development, particularly in continental Europe.
In response to the need for infrastructure and peri-infrastructure funding across the European continent and following an analysis of various institutional and private reports highlighting a shortfall in investments of approximately $1.2 trillion, the co-founders of GSF extracted the details and causes behind this issue. It was found that the main causes of this lack of investment were a misalignment of projects with the criteria set by funders and the challenges faced by project promoters, such as insufficient knowledge about financing solutions, underutilization of existing mechanisms and financial innovations, as well as a partial misalignment between project structuring and risk management.
To address these challenges, the founders created Global Scale Funding (GSF), a Swiss Corporative Organization aimed at fostering collaboration and cooperation between funders and/or financial backers and project promoters. GSF positions itself as a catalyst for growth, driving the realization of essential projects and contributing to economic prosperity.
