The European Investment Bank (EIB) is supporting the major renewal of mental health infrastructure in Leuven and Kortenberg with a €120 million loan to Z.org KU Leuven, enabling the organisation to realise its long-term infrastructure plan for mental health care in the region.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a financing agreement with Société Wallonne du Crédit Social (SWCS) to support home energy efficiency retrofits in the Walloon Region. The €250 million loan – the first tranche of a €500 million package for SWCS to be drawn down over three years – will help the regional credit institution extend affordable home retrofit loans to households.

The European Investment Bank will support Wallonie Entreprendre in its efforts to support the green transition of businesses in the Walloon Region. The availability and cost of energy play a crucial role in making the green transition possible and affordable for businesses and citizens. Therefore, financial support for installing renewable energy systems and energy storage systems, can boost the uptake of this technology. The operation is fully aligned with the European Commission’s REPowerEU plan.
