Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
EUR 45 million

EUR 90 million
Environmental aspects
The project is expected to be carried out in already authorised research and development (R&D) facilities that will not change their scope due to the project. The need for an environmental impact assessment (EIA) in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU is therefore unlikely. The Bank’s services will review the environmental aspects of the project during the due diligence process.
Procurement
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not subject to EU rules on public procurement.
