The European Investment Bank and the Polish Ministry of Finance have signed two loans to finance basic research grants disbursed by the National Science Centre and the RDI activities of the 70 research institutes that are affiliated with the Polish Academy of Science countrywide.

The European Union Delegation to Timor-Leste and the European Investment Bank (EIB), the bank of the European Union, will support the government of Timor-Leste in the development of bankable water, wastewater and forestry projects designed to raise living and business standards in the country.

The European Investment Bank has committed to supporting Finnish company TactoTek, which develops “in-mold structural electronics” (IMSE^®) production methods and technologies. The company will use the financing to increase its investments in innovation and research, as well as to sustain its growth, which was hampered by the difficulties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The financing was made available under the European Guarantee Fund (EGF), a pan-European programme to help SMEs that are viable in the long-term but are struggling in the current crisis, to grow their way out of the ongoing difficulties.
