The President of the European Investment Bank Nadia Calviño started the week in Warsaw where she had very fruitful meetings with Prime Minister Tusk, as well as the Finance and Foreign Affairs ministers on current European priorities and our important investments in Poland. We announced new financing for the country’s first satellite programme and also visited an impressive EIB financed leader in healthtech, developing new methods to fight infectious diseases.
In Cannes, alongside our partners at the European Commission, we signed new agreements to strengthen Europe’s cultural and creative businesses with a focus on the audiovisual sector.
Vice-President Nicola Beer participated in a strategic meeting in Brussels to secure a sustainable supply of Critical Raw Materials, essential for the green and digital transitions.
And we close the week in Portugal, with fruitful meetings with the ministers of Finance and Economy and the majors of Lisbon and Porto, to reinforce our financial support for climate-resilient infrastructure. President Calviño visited some of the EIB financed projects and saw first-hand the impact on the ground of our investments, putting Europe´s capital to work for the benefit of future generations.
