About MEIF

The Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF)

Supported by the European Regional Development Fund, MEIF is an initiative launched by the government-owned British Business Bank.

MEIF was launched in February 2017 and finished its investment phase in December 2023 having facilitated over £400m of direct and private sector co-investment to growing companies across the Midlands.

How does the funding work?

MEIF funding is drawn from several sources including the UK Government, the European Investment Bank, the British Business Bank and the European Regional Development Fund and the nine Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) that are part of the Midlands Engine, plus the South East Midlands LEP.

The Midlands Engine Investment Fund has now completed its investment phase and is transitioning to the Midlands Engine Investment Fund II which will launch in March 2024.

The new Midlands Engine Investment Fund II will deliver £400m of investment to growing companies.
