The European Investment Bank and the national promotional banks have a significant impact on funding for EU companies, including SMEs and start-ups. The European Union needs to mobilise massive amount of money to fund strategic projects and close its investment gap, while avoiding start-ups and innovative ideas to look for better opportunities in other jurisdictions.

This public hearing will gather policymakers and civil society stakeholders to discuss on how public banks can better support EU industrial policy, innovation, the scale-up of EU businesses, and, ultimately, economic growth.

The event will be webstreamed and open to all interested stakeholders. No registration is needed and participation is free of charge.
