The European Investment Bank (EIB) Group is providing a €60 million guarantee to asset manager Sienna IM to increase financing for biodiversity in Europe. The support is being provided by the EIF, part of the EIB Group, to cover financing by the Sienna Biodiversity Private Credit Fund[1], a fund devoted to restoring and protecting biodiversity in Europe. The EIF guarantee covers up to 70% of the credit risk of small and medium firms and is being granted under the InvestEU Sustainability Guarantee.

Diagnostic Medical Systems (DMS Group), a specialist in high-performance medical imaging systems for digital radiology and bone densitometry, announces that it has obtained financing of €20 million from the European Investment Bank (EIB), with the support of the European Union as part of the InvestEU programme.

This €1 million loan, provided over a period of seven years, is intended to finance the working capital needs of CIMULEC Groupe. It will enable the group to meet strong demand from the defence sector.
