The European Investment Bank and DG GROW of the European Commission, have partnered to produce a series of analytical reports on industrial ecosystems and the resilience of European value chains. Investment plays an important role for the delivery of the European Union’s public policy goals, including the green and digital transition.
However, there’s a knowledge gap when it comes to investment activities and the role of supportive and impeding conditions as well as in regard to the resilience of European value chains and Industrial Ecosystems to transitory and structural shocks.
It’s crucial to understand how transitory and structural shocks unveil new investment needs and potentially call for public support measures. Survey-based data can contribute to this understanding. In light of this and on top of its annual EIB Investment Survey, the EIB has deployed a special survey dedicated to supply chains, the Supply Chain Survey (SUCH).
A data portal (soon to be released) contains the data gathered in these reports.
Post-COVID recovery and green transition: an ecosystem view
This first publication, Post-COVID recovery and green transition: an ecosystem view provides new insights in investment conditions and global supply chains. It aims to assess the resilience of European value chains and industrial ecosystems to transitory and structural shocks, particularly during post-COVID recovery.
About the report
To assess to what extent industrial ecosystems are fostering new avenues for future growth and enhancing their resilience to external shocks, this report draws upon firm-level data collected for the EIB Investment Survey in all 27 EU countries, the annual corporate survey conducted annually among 12 000 European firms.
EIB and DG GROW partnership
The pandemic, the war in Ukraine and tensions in some of the major worldwide navigation routes to name a few continue to be felt in the European economic landscape, affecting corporate investment and global supply chains. To create and deliver appropriate public policy goals, identification and understanding of the current issues is inevitable.
