This week marks four years since Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine, and four years of European solidarity with its fight.
The EIB Group is supporting the country with energy and transport infrastructure, hospitals, homes and schools. In fact, a reconstructed kindergarten reopened this week in Lviv – a symbol of hope in a better future.
Ukraine will also benefit from a new investment initiative to reinforce stability, resilience and security in the EU’s Eastern border.
Europe's security was also the focus of our meeting with the Secretary General of NATO.
The outstanding potential of Europe’s innovators was at the heart of the Masters of Digital event, which brought together startups, CEOs, investors and policymakers to discuss how to mobilise large-scale financing in this area.
Two companies supported by the EIB Group - from France and Spain – active in quantum computing, space and security, won awards, and we also announced new investments in a Luxembourg-based firm developing satellite communications and for critical raw materials research in Austria.
The EIB Group is in the business of financing the future and building a strong and competitive EU economy. This was the subject of very productive exchanges at the European Parliament.
Finally, we had our regular meeting with heads of Multilateral Development Banks, to strengthen our collaboration and efficiency in working together, as a system, in support of a safer, more prosperous and stable world.
