Bilbao hosts the creation of MicroEurope, a European micro-finance entity / Bilbao acoge la creación de MicroEurope, entidad europea de microfinanzas

Posted on February 22, 2022August 16, 2022 by info

MicroEurope will have its headquarters in Bilbao, from which Seed Capital Bizkaia will be responsible for its technical secretariat. Giampietro Pizzo will hold the presidency of MicroEurope, and Andrea Limone will be its CEO.

MicroEurope tendrá su sede social en Bilbao, desde donde Seed Capital Bizkaia se encargará de la secretaría técnica de la misma. La presidencia de MicroEurope la ostentará Giampietro Pizzo, y Andrea Limone será el CEO de la misma.

The new entity MicroEurope has been launched in Bilbao, with the aim of becoming a benchmark in the management of microfinance at the European level.

MicroEurope has been promoted by a group of 8 professionals with vast experience in the field of microfinance in the European context, as well as by 3 institutions that act as anchor investors and are benchmarks in this sector: Giampietro Pizzo, Andrea Limone, Maria Doiciu, Katia Raguzzoni, Fabio Malanchini, Svetlana Roganovic, Klaas Molenaar, Elwin Groenevelt, Phitrust, Banca Popolare Etica and Seed Capital Bizkaia.

MicroEurope aims at offering social investors a new way of working with microfinance, with a social approach, focused on people and with a clear inclusive vocation. Nowadays, microfinance institutions face the challenge of expanding to become a real tool for social inclusion for those people who are excluded by the traditional financial system. In this context, MicroEurope offers financial support and technical assistance to financial service providers so that they can implement growth and expansion strategies in the management of microfinance in which social and environmental impact, governance and network building play a special role.

MicroEurope will have its headquarters in Bilbao, from where Seed Capital Bizkaia will be responsible for its technical secretariat. Giampietro Pizzo will hold the presidency of MicroEurope, and Andrea Limone will be its CEO.

Con fecha 10 de febrero de 2022 ha sido constituida en Bilbao la sociedad MicroEurope, que pretende convertirse en un referente en la gestión de las microfinanzas a nivel europeo.

MicroEurope ha sido impulsada por un grupo de 8 profesionales individuales de trayectoria dilatada en el ámbito de las microfinanzas en el contexto europeo así como por 3 instituciones que ejercen de inversores ancla y que son referentes en este sector: Giampietro Pizzo, Andrea Limone, Maria Doiciu, Katia Raguzzoni, Fabio Malanchini, Svetlana Roganovic, Klaas Molenaar, Elwin Groenevelt, Phitrust, Banca Popolare Etica y Seed Capital Bizkaia.

MicroEurope pretende ofrecer a inversores sociales una nueva manera de trabajar las microfinanzas, desde un enfoque social, centrado en las personas y con una clara vocación inclusiva. Las instituciones de microfinanzas tienen el desafío de expandirse en los próximos tiempos para convertirse en una herramienta real de inclusión social para aquellas personas a las que el sistema financiero tradicional excluye. En este contexto, MicroEurope ofrece apoyo financiero y asistencia técnica a los proveedores de servicios financieros para que puedan implementar estrategias de crecimiento y expansión en la gestión de las microfinanzas en las que el impacto social y medioambiental, la gobernanza y la construcción de redes adquieren un especial protagonismo.

MicroEurope tendrá su sede social en Bilbao, desde donde Seed Capital Bizkaia se encargará de la secretaría técnica de la misma. La presidencia de MicroEurope la ostentará Giampietro Pizzo, y Andrea Limone será el CEO de la misma.
