The European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) has gathered, for the first time, more than 300 experts, policymakers and representatives from EU institutions, municipalities and national ministries to scale up financial support to increase the supply of affordable and sustainable housing across Europe. The event coincides with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s announcement about the launch of the first ever pan-European investment platform for affordable and sustainable housing, in partnership with the EIB Group.
