This week, President von der Leyen outlined the European Commission’s priorities in her State of the Union address. The EIB Group is supporting these priorities, financing projects to make Europe safer, more competitive, autonomous and green.
With High Representative Kaja Kallas, we discussed our unwavering support for Ukraine and our solid pipeline of projects to bolster Europe ‘s security and defence.
With Commissioners Tzitzikostas and Micallef, we are advancing our work on clean and accessible transport, and initiatives to benefit young people like student housing, education and new technologies.
With Commissioner Lahbib, we are reinforcing our cooperation to enhance preparedness and resilience around the world, an investment in Europe‘s own security.
The EIB Group announced new financing for medical research and development, production and recycling of critical raw materials and electric vehicle charging.
Outside the EU, we launched projects to unlock green financing in Ethiopia and Jordan.
And we also launched a new initiative to help 350,000 SMEs cut energy costs and improve Europe’s competitiveness.
Finally, we had an inspiring exchange with students at Bocconi University in Milan. It’s so motivating to see younger generations ready for a successful future!
