The Business Partnership Facility celebrates 10 years of impact

In 2026, the Business Partnership Facility (BPF) celebrates a significant milestone: 10 years of partnerships, innovation and impact. The BPF supports partnerships between European companies and local stakeholders to co-develop innovative and practical solutions in developing countries. Since its launch, the BPF has grown into a well-established initiative supporting concrete and innovative projects led by the private sector, aimed at testing, adapting and deploying solutions that address local economic, social and environmental challenges. Over the past decade, the partnerships supported by the BPF have demonstrated their ability to deliver tangible results on the ground.

In just 10 years, the BPF has achieved strong and measurable outcomes:

• over 50 international projects supported, across a wide range of sectors and in more than 20 countries;
• EUR 15 million mobilised through public and private investments;
• 2,229 jobs created and over 100,000 people reached.

These figures reflect the commitment of BPF partners to developing inclusive, innovative and scalable solutions that contribute to sustainable development.

The BPF is initiated and funded by the Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defence, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, Luxinnovation, and the Ministry of the Economy.
