Public Council

The Public Council is a consultative-advisory body ensuring dialogue between the Fund and civil society. The Council represents citizens’ interests and ensures that public opinion is taken into account when strategic decisions are made.

As a body of independent public oversight, the Council hears reports on the activities of the Fund and its portfolio companies, analyses strategic issues and develops recommendations for improvement. Meetings are open to representatives of the media. The Council engages external experts, opinion leaders and representatives of civil society in its discussions.

On 8 February 2025, a new composition of the Public Council was approved, comprising 15 members, including Members of Parliament, representatives of the business community, scientific and expert organisations, and representatives of the Fund.

In 2025 the Public Council held meetings on sustainable development, infrastructure and energy projects, and the activities of portfolio companies – including on-site sessions in the regions of operation. The meetings produced recommendations to the management of the Fund and portfolio companies.

Detailed information on the Council’s composition, agenda and meeting outcomes is disclosed in the Annual Report and on the Fund’s official website.
