Sectors
We support sectors that make a significant contribution to growth, employment, regional cohesion and environmental sustainability in Europe and beyond.
Agriculture, food and rural development
The EIB supports the rural economy - generating benefits for both private enterprises and society as a whole - through its long-term financing and provision of technical advice and assistance.
Forestry
Forestry is at the heart of our efforts to support sustainable landscapes, foster rural economic growth and employment.
Health and life science
We support projects which aim to ensure universal access to effective, safe and affordable healthcare services.
Regional development
One of the main priorities of the European Union is to work to bring cohesion and convergence across Europe and with our partner countries.
Trans-European Networks
Smooth transport links are needed to give life to Europe’s single market of 500 million consumers.
With the ever increasing demand for mobility, factors such as severe congestion, poor air quality, noise emissions and pollution are becoming key challenges for transport in the 21st century.
Urban agenda
We work on a range of Urban Agenda-related initiatives to share knowledge with local and regional decision-makers to improve access to funds and help them use existing funds more effectively.
Water and wastewater management
A healthy water sector is critical to the economic growth and competitiveness.
