Housing took centre stage this week as we kicked off our roadshow in Barcelona to drive investment for innovation in this sector across Europe. The EIB Housing TechEU initiative will finance the development of new materials and building techniques, that increase speed, energy efficiency, and reduce costs, in this important area for all citizens, especially the younger ones.
We also announced financing for over 600 homes in the city.
We met European Commissioner Hansen to deepen our partnership in supporting a stable, profitable and safe future for EU agriculture, including by improving insurance against climate risks, as well as investing in the agri-food industry and the bioeconomy.
New financing announced this week includes energy-efficient supermarkets, offshore wind, urban infrastructure, a nuclear power plant upgrade and also innovative brain therapy to treat epilepsy.
In Angola we are backing the country's first national vaccination campaign against cervical cancer, launched this week with the World Health Organization, targeting two million girls.
In Ukraine, we opened a new preschool in Zhytomyr.
And at our Luxembourg headquarters we hosted the wonderful Cultural Forces of Ukraine, military musicians sharing hope through music.
