The CEB presents the results of an InvestEU Advisory Hub market study of social infrastructure in nine EU Member States
18 January 2024
Paris - The Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) has commissioned a study to assess the social sector infrastructure investment needs in nine European Union (EU) countries: Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Spain.
In each country, the study examines six sectors:
- Affordable social housing
- Student housing
- Housing for the elderly
- Universities and vocational training centres
- Pre-school facilities
- Hospitals
The results are intended to contribute to the development of market responsive solutions by identifying and quantifying needs and funding gaps.
This study is funded by the European Commission, through the InvestEU Advisory Hub, which supports the identification, preparation and development of investment projects across selected EU countries. The Advisory Hub complements the InvestEU Fund, which mobilises public and private investment through an EU budget guarantee.
The CEB will organise a series of virtual events to disseminate the results of the study, engage in discussions with various social infrastructure stakeholders and inform interested parties of the opportunities available under InvestEU.
