The project will support a leading Spanish retail chain's efforts to safeguard its competitive position by investing in Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) and contributes to the targets of the Europe 2020 Strategy.
Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

Total cost (Approximate amount)

Environmental aspects
The IT development activities and investments are expected to be carried out in existing facilities that are already used for the same purposes and that are not expected to change their scope due to the project. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is therefore not needed as per EIA directive 2011/92/EU.
Procurement
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement.
