One Week, One Minute: Cohesion policies and green cities

This week, we welcomed ambassadors from African, Caribbean, and Pacific States to deepen our partnership and discuss investments in key areas like food security, and critical raw materials.

In Brussels, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms Elisa Ferreira and the president of the European Investment Bank Group Nadia Calviño joined local authorities from across the EU to discuss the future of Cohesion Policy and innovative financing in our regions and cities.

A fair and orderly green transition and support for new technologies was the focus of the president's meetiongs with meetings with Commissioners for Climate Action Wopke Hoekstra and Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth.

At the Smart Cities Mission Conference in Valencia, we announced new investments for clean energy, transport and social infrastructure. And at the “Foro Mediterráneo” event we discussed cooperation to tackle the region’s shared challenges.

President Calviño also visited an EIB-financed social housing project as well as a technological institute doing valuable research for companies in the transport sector.

We announced new investments: in Denmark, to build the country’s largest offshore wind farm powering more than a million homes… and a seaport expansion to accommodate NATO operations…in Lithuania support for social businesses and the creative sectors, in Romania for small businesses, and for electric trains in France. And we inaugurated a water navigation lock in Belgium.

And, in Cyprus we will be opening our first EIB Group office.

Finally, the president of the EIB Group Nadia Calviño had the chance to thank EIB Group staff at our Townhall for their dedication and hard work shaping the Group’s Strategic Roadmap, now approved by EU ministers.
