Spain: EIB finances with €20 million Universal DX to develop innovative diagnostic tests for early cancer detection
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €20 million loan with Spain company Universal DX to support development and commercialization of cutting-edge blood-based liquid biopsy solutions for the early detection of cancer.

France: The EIB and CDC Biodiversité have signed a partnership to look into biodiversity credit placements
The goal of this partnership is for the EIB to conduct a study to collect data on the depth of the voluntary biodiversity market in France – and potentially in other EU Member States – in terms of CDC Biodiversité’s issuance of credit placements. Its findings will be used in another study for the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment. If it is deemed necessary to expand the scope of financial instruments in the biodiversity sector, the conclusions from this study will be used to make recommendations aimed at increasing demand in the voluntary market and propose other monetisation facilities.
