Each project selected should display the potential to contribute strongly to the EU Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’ and its three objectives:
- restoring marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity,
- eliminating pollution,
- decarbonising the blue economy.
Concretely, the aim is to identify 20 innovative projects, which have the potential to interest public or private finance providers and possibly qualify for an EIB financing.
While a formal application process is not foreseen, interested project promoters are welcome to fill out the template with their details and submit it to the EIB Advisory team corporatefinanceadvisory@eib.org before 31 January 2024.
Only projects eligible for support under the InvestEU Advisory Hub will be considered.
