Whether for SME promotion, solutions for entrepreneurs or private finances – evers & jung continues to develop creative solutions where traditional concepts reach their limits. Microfinance is one of the core activities of evers & jung. We assist MFIs in strategic and operational issues; we develop concepts, financial products and measures for the promotion of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs); and we conduct studies on a regional, national and international scale on how to improve the MSME finance environment. Together with Adie and nef, evers & jung was a founding member of EMN.

The company was founded in Hamburg in 2001 by Dr. Jan Evers and Martin Jung with the aim of combining knowledge gained from economic research with experiences from everyday consulting practice. The team surrounding the two founders consists of twenty employees from interdisciplinary backgrounds. This enables evers & jung to shed light on multifaceted, complex tasks from different angles and to find optimum solutions.
