This week, we had very good meetings with Portugal’s Prime Minister Montenegro, as well as the Ministers of Finance and Economy, to discuss EIB financing in the areas of transport, housing, technological innovation, education and health, as well as security and defence.
In the impressive Champalimaud Foundation, we presented our TechEU programme to support Europe’s technological leadership.
We also announced an important loan to cut the carbon emissions of a leading paper and pulp firm.
The Global Gateway Forum illustrated Europe’s strong network of strategic partnerships around the world. We signed a number of financing agreements and announced new operations, including for wind power in Cabo Verde and vaccine manufacturing in Rwanda.
Alongside Commission Executive Vice-President Ribera, we shared with key stakeholders the second phase of our Climate Bank Roadmap.
We also updated EU Finance Ministers on this at the ECOFIN, as well as on support to Ukraine and the state of play of financing for Europe security and defence capabilities in the run-up to the European Council.
And we signed new projects to upgrade railways, to expand renewables, to improve water supply and support SMEs, as well as for a new military base in Latvia.
