The European Investment Bank is backing Greece’s initiatives to safeguard and enhance critical services and infrastructure.

This support comes in the form of specialized technical assistance, aimed at the planning and preparation of investments intended to bolster the country’s resilience against future challenges and risks.

According to an announcement by the Environment and Energy Ministry, protecting national infrastructure is a matter of national security, economic stability and social cohesion.

At a time of intensifying climate pressures and emerging threats, strengthening the resilience of energy and water networks is a strategic priority for the government, according to the announcement.

As part of the collaboration, the EIB will support Greek authorities in identifying investment priorities, preparing mature projects and developing a comprehensive investment framework that will contribute to the creation of more resilient, sustainable and reliable infrastructure.
