European Investment Bank Activity Report 2021: The innovation response
()
About this ebook
The Activity Report report highlights our emergency response to COVID-19 through the unique European Guarantee Fund, as well as our support for healthcare companies working on cures and therapies for the disease. It illustrates the dimensions of our backing for companies that are forging new frontiers of climate action — sometimes right into outer space. It demonstrates our commitment to a better future for all Europeans in our cohesion investment and for all global citizens through our development work.
Built around 25 articles about the work of the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund in COVID-19 response, climate action, cohesion and development, the Activity Report highlights our contribution to a healthy, green and inclusive world.
Figures are expected outcomes of financed new operations signed in 2020 for the first time based on available data at this stage. All figures are unaudited and provisional.

HEALTHY WORLD
The COVID-19 crisis is unprecedented. Likewise, the European Guarantee Fund has been more than business as usual. It has been unconventional in scope, timeline and its underlying instruments, as well as in its governance, with a Contributors Committee representing the participating member states as guarantors. Like the virus itself, COVID-19’s economic effects do not stop at national borders. Support for companies affected by the economic fallout can be more efficient when it reaches beyond individual countries.
Ioanna-Victoria Kyritsi, head of European Guarantee Fund implementation unit, EIB
Life science is a vital solution for pressing global needs. The European Investment Bank has directly supported 80 highly innovative, early-stage European biotech or medtech projects to the tune of over €2 billion, from new drugs for rare and infectious diseases and immuno-oncology treatments to the development of more accurate surgical implants and sophisticated diagnostic tools. Supporting resilient health systems, access to primary healthcare, and manufacturing capacity for essential medical goods, including vaccines, is a crucial area of our activity.
Felicitas Riedl, head of life sciences and health, EIB
European Investment Bank life sciences experts have been at the heart of the effort to combat COVID-19 and build a healthier future. This section includes what a few of them say about the vaccines we financed in 2021 — and the work we are already doing to guard against future pandemics.
Outside the European Union, our development work includes projects designed to make vaccination equitable and global.
The EIB Group has backed Europe’s small and medium-sized enterprises through its European Guarantee Fund. From a restaurant in Croatia to a bank in Finland, here are the stories of businesses that received vital financing during the COVID-19 crisis.
WHY RISKY IDEAS ARE GOOD IN A CRISIS
To get out of this pandemic and avoid future crises, we must take more risk and increase innovation in COVID-19 vaccines and all types of life sciences research
By Cristina Niculescu and Nadya Velikova
One might say that vaccines have become victims of their own success. The COVID-19 vaccines were developed in record time, but it has been hard to gain widespread support for their use. We have become accustomed to vaccinations over many decades. But we also have grown much more concerned with vaccine safety. Many people today tend to forget or take for granted the benefits of vaccination programmes. Fake news and easy access to all kinds of information through social media are causing people not to trust their doctors and science as much as they did 50 years
