The EIB is the European Union’s bank. It is the only bank completely owned by and
representing the interests of the European Union Member States. It works closely with other
EU institutions to implement EU policy.
As the largest multilateral borrower and lender by volume, the EIB provides finance and
expertise for sound and sustainable investment projects which contribute to furthering EU
policy objectives. Approximately 90% of their activity is focused on Europe but they also
support the EU’s external development policies with some 7 billion Euro of investments per year.

Development (DFID), and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Aid-Funded Business Service Team

speakers from the EIB who will present opportunities for investment projects and for the
provision of consultancy services and technical assistance. After the networking lunch,
representatives from EIB, DFID, and UKTI will be available for 15-minute one-to-one
meetings. Delegates are encouraged to stay and continue to network.
