As COP29 has highlighted once again, limiting global warming and the shift towards sustainable energy production, consumption and mobility, are critical in the fight against climate change. Private initiatives like this one are a signal that the market also sees economic opportunities in this context, and we are here to support them.”

This commitment validates our mission and strategy and paves the way for further growth. We look forward to collaborating with the EIF to support groundbreaking European ventures in decarbonising power, transport, and buildings.”
