👀 Guess where we are today…

From cleaner public transport to greener urban spaces and a more sustainable port, Lithuania is investing in the cities of tomorrow🇱🇹➡️


🚌 Vilnius: Up to 160 new zero-emission buses and 145 charging stations to make public transport cleaner and quieter.

⚓ Klaipėda: €100 million to modernise a key Baltic port, strengthening military mobility and supporting offshore wind and clean energy.

🌱 Tauragė: €20 million in EIB financing to help the city reach its ambition of becoming climate-neutral by 2030, with investments in cycling paths, clean transport and energy-efficient public buildings.

Three cities. Three ambitious projects. One greener future for Lithuania.

From opening a new chapter for investment with Canada to celebrating 40 years of Portugal in the EU, and signing new projects in priority sectors across Europe, this week was all about impact and making a difference across our Union and beyond.

All treats, no tricks. 🎃
Our projects got a scary makeover this Halloween. But under all the makeup, they’re treating people in Europe and beyond to a better life: safer roads, cleaner air, greener energy and even a way to space.

First up: a sea monster in the Gulf of Corinth?
Don’t worry, this bridge can handle it. Rion-Antirion connects the Peloponnese to mainland Greece and is one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world. Before it opened, people relied on ferries that bad weather could stop. Now no storm (or kraken) can haunt your crossing.

Swipe if you dare. 👻

Caught in the W.E.B.
Spiders love it, and so do we. In Lower Austria, W.E.B is building a new wind farm: four turbines first, then seven more planned for 2027/28. We cover half the cost of the first phase. Clean energy, spun day and night.

Close encounters of the funded kind. 👽
PLD Space builds its rockets in a former shoe factory in Elche. In 2023, its Miura 1 became Europe’s first privately developed rocket to reach space. We now back Miura 5, a rocket for small satellites that is being developed to become fully reusable. It’s our first direct investment in small launchers. Out of this world.

Not a highway to hell.
Red eyes in the dark? Just the traffic jams leaving town. A new 9.8 km expressway around Novo Mesto takes traffic out of the city centre: less congestion, safer roads, cleaner air. It also brings more than 6 km of cycle paths and a bridge for bikes and walkers over the Krka river. We finance half of the project.

It’s Thriller night on line 5. 🧟
Vilnius is replacing old diesel and gas buses with up to 161 electric and hydrogen buses, plus 145 charging points. That means less smog and less noise, so you can hear the zombies coming. The city wants to be climate neutral by 2030.

🇪🇺🤝🇨🇦 A new chapter for EU-Canada investment.

The EIB and the Government of Canada have signed a Framework Agreement paving the way for EIB investment in Canada.

An early focus: critical raw materials.

By bringing together Canada’s mineral resources and expertise with Europe’s investment capacity, technology and market, we can help build supply chains that are more secure, resilient and competitive.

The agreement opens the door for EIB financing and advisory support for projects across the value chain, from extraction and processing to refining and recycling.

This month, we travel to Riga to meet Paulina Brzezicka, Head of the EIB Group office in Latvia.

Originally from Szczecin in Poland, Paulina has lived all around Europe and worked for over 10 years in Luxembourg at the EIB Group before embarking on her new adventure in Riga: a port city that reminds her of her own Baltic hometown, with the added bonus of white nights. Here the river, and sometimes even the sea, freeze in winter, but the sun doesn’t set all night in summer.

Paulina is our first Head of Office in Latvia.

Built from scratch, the office is now up and running one and a half years later - and that’s one of the things she is proudest of.

As our eyes and ears on the ground, she represents the Group at all times and sees herself as a real bridge between Latvia and Luxembourg.

Being an extrovert, Paulina’s favourite part of the job is about building and maintaining relationships.

When it comes to our top projects in the country, Paulina highlights innovation finance advisory assignments that keep her closely engaged with the start-up community and innovation ecosystem in Riga, as well as the Bank’s support in helping the University of Latvia finance its campus expansion – seeing the new buildings come to life and watching the construction progress makes her particularly proud.

'Eiropas Investīciju Banka, uzlabojot dzīvi Latvijā kopš 1994. gada.’ concludes Paulina.

Nature is what unites us, no matter how divided we are. It’s all around us, and we are part of it. 🌍

Everything we take for granted: clean water, food on our plates, the air we breathe.

What makes all of this possible?
Healthy ecosystems. But in many places, they are disappearing.

We joined countries, institutions and fellow development banks at COP17 on biodiversity in Yerevan to discuss one question: how do we turn promises for nature into real action?

Our answer: build nature into every project, from the start.
🗺️ Plan with nature in mind: choose and shape projects that also help nature.
🔍 Use the checks we already do: the same reviews that spot risks to nature can spot chances to restore it.
🌄 Think bigger than one site: look at whole landscapes and rivers, not just a single project.

Together with other development banks, we presented a short guide on how to do this, supporting the global goal agreed in 2022 to stop and reverse nature loss by 2030.
In Armenia, our host country, this is already part of our work, with investments in water, resilient infrastructure, energy efficiency and green finance.

🇲🇩 Investing in Moldova’s future starts with what matters to people: better healthcare, thriving businesses, good jobs and more opportunities for people and communities across the country.

These priorities were at the heart of EIB Vice-President Karl Nehammer’s visit to Moldova, where two major initiatives reached important milestones:

🏥 Renovation and energy efficiency works have begun at two major hospitals, the first of 10 to benefit from a €72.4 million programme supported by the EU, EIB Global and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The upgrades will improve conditions for over 1 million patients and 10,000 healthcare professionals, while reducing energy consumption by around 40%.

🌱 A new €150 million EIB Global financing agreement, backed by the EU, will help Moldova’s farmers and food businesses modernise, improve production and storage, and reach new markets. The financing follows the first Fruit Garden of Moldova programme, which has supported over 500 agricultural investment projects across the country.

🤝 VP Nehammer also met Prime Minister Vasile Tofan to discuss investment priorities, economic development and Moldova’s European integration.

Together with the EU and our partners, we continue working alongside Moldova to support its long-term development and improve everyday life.

We help Ukraine keep everyday life going, from border crossings and businesses to buses and classrooms.

Our Vice-President Karl Nehammer visited this week to see the results on the ground. 🇺🇦

🛣️€60 million to modernise Ukraine’s border crossings with the EU and Moldova, with new terminals, waiting areas, shelters, access roads and customs equipment. It is the first project under the EU-Ukraine Security and Connectivity Initiative.

🚌 85 new buses are running on 16 routes across Kyiv. Low floors, ramps and wheelchair spaces make them easier to use for older people, parents with prams and veterans with injuries.

📚In Horodetske, Cherkasy region, the local school was damaged on the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion. It now has new roofs, insulated facades and energy-efficient windows to keep classrooms warm this winter.

🗂️ An European Investment Fund (EIF) guarantee to ПроКредит Банк | Банк розумних людей will unlock up to €143 million in loans for 700+ SMEs, especially war-affected companies, veteran-led businesses, and women and young entrepreneurs.

Since 2022, EIB Group financing in support of Ukraine has reached more than €4.5 billion for essential services, recovery and reconstruction.

From borders to classrooms, we remain on the ground in Ukraine and committed to its recovery. 🇺🇦

From nearly €12 billion in new projects approved by our Boards to a new plan to double our climate adaptation financing, this week focused on strengthening Europe’s energy security, building resilience and delivering affordable homes.

You check the forecast, grab an umbrella, close the shutters. That’s adapting. Now picture doing it for a whole city ☔

Climate adaptation means preparing before disaster strikes: stronger buildings, smarter water use, tougher crops. Less damage, less cost, quicker recovery.

Greece 🇬🇷
Our €250 million loan helps the Athens water company upgrade water and wastewater services for more than 4 million people in Attica, making them more resilient to drought.

Italy 🇮🇹
After the 2017 earthquake and the 2022 landslide, our €1 billion loan is rebuilding public and private buildings on Ischia. Our experts also helped plan the climate adaptation measures.

Poland 🇵🇱
Heavy rain, heat and frost wear roads down fast. We’re financing repairs to the national road sections most exposed to climate change, so people and goods keep moving.

France 🇫🇷
Seed producer Limagrain is using our €300 million loan to develop more productive and resilient crops. Better seeds give farmers the tools to face climate challenges 🌱

Jordan 🇯🇴
Fixing leaks, increasing water supply and improving sanitation across the country. Treated wastewater can then be reused to water crops. Every drop counts 💧

Every euro invested in prevention and adaptation saves 10 euros in damages and repairs, as our President Nadia Calviño says.
That’s why we’re doubling our adaptation finance to at least €30 billion by 2030 - cause climate adaptation is a “no brainer”.
