The European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH), a joint initiative by the Commission and the EIB, is a single access point to advisory and technical assistance services. The EIAH offers a single access point to a 360 degree offer of advisory and technical assistance services with the aim of strengthening Europe's investment and business environment.

The EIAH has already received 1,837 requests from all Member States. 611 of those requests received or are receiving detailed advisory support. The top countries requesting support are Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, France, Greece and Belgium. 56% of the project-specific requests come from the private sector. Financial support to SMEs and small midcaps, environment and resource efficiency, development of transport and of energy sectors are the main domains covered by the requests. 

The EIAH has signed more than 29 active agreements with national promotional institutions (NPIs) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in Member States to develop their ability to support investment pipelines and to enhance local provision of assistance. Nine Funding Agreements were signed with National Promotional Banks (NPBs) since the launch of a call for proposals in December 2017 to support the development and delivery of local advisory services.
