Today was the Venture Debt summit organised by the European Investment Bank. More than 250 participants from across Europe. We need more capital to flow to #innovation, in particular #deeptech, #cleantech and #lifesciences. Europe has the brains. Let’s power them with the finance they need !


Was yesterday in Brussels to celebrate with Commissionner Kadri Simson the second birthday of #repowerEU. We have already achieved a lot, partly thanks to European Investment Bank and last year’s EUR 22 billion in new lending for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Let’s keep accelerating !
