Supporting West Pomerania's regional development strategy

West Pomerania is facing demographic and economic challenges, with an aging population requiring better access to health and an economy in the midst of a green transition. The European Investment Bank is backing investments in several sectors, such as mobility, culture, health and social care. This helps the transition of the region by accelerating sustainable economic growth and increasing social cohesion.

Regional development and cohesion

Economic, social and territorial integration in the European Union must be supported by suitable policy. The EU’s Cohesion Policy does just that: it helps each region reach its full potential, and the European Union as a whole improve its living standards and overall prosperity. See how the EIB’s work supports cohesion.

Urban development

The EIB tackles environmental and social issues by supporting projects that make life in urban areas more sustainable.
