The plan also outlines concrete investment opportunities such as energy efficiency improvements, low carbon technologies, renewable electricity procurement, the adoption of electric furnaces, and support for low carbon material sourcing. With more than 100 manufacturing facilities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, a diversified technological base, and strong supply chain integration, the company is well positioned to drive sustainable change across one of the world\u2019s most emissions intensive industries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CIE is one of the first automotive companies to receive EIB advisory support under the&nbsp;InvestEU Advisory Hub. By supporting CIE with targeted advisory services, the EIB and InvestEU are helping to transform strategic plans into concrete, investable projects that deliver real benefits for companies (including in terms of increased competitivity) and the environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing more sustainable manufacturing technologies in the automotive sector is critical to further decarbonising European industry and advancing the climate transition. The Hub acts as the single entry point for project promoters and intermediaries seeking advisory support, capacity-building, and technical assistance linked to centrally managed EU investment funds. EIB Advisory acts as an implementing partner of the InvestEU Advisory Hub, delivering a wide range of services to help businesses and the public sector make sound investment decisions and gain access to financing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership between CIE Automotive and the EIB dates back to 2009. Since then, the EIB has supported the company\u2019s research and development activities, strengthening its global competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Background Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the EIB Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Investment Bank (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eib.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ElB<\/a>) Group is the financing arm of the European Union, owned by the 27 Member States, and one of the largest multilateral development banks in the world.

Beyond long-term loans for large infrastructures, the EIB Group crowds-in private investment for high-risk innovative projects and businesses, with a growing role in Europe\u2019s markets for venture debt, venture capital,&nbsp;guarantees&nbsp;and securitisations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Spain, the EIB Group has carried out financing and investment operations in 2025 totalling around \u20ac11&nbsp;billion, which came alongside an additional \u20ac2.9&nbsp;billion under the Regional Resilience Fund (NextGenerationEU loans).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Investment Fund (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eif.org\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EIF<\/a>) is the subsidiary of the EIB&nbsp;Group&nbsp;specialised in providing guarantees and equity to improve access to finance for small and medium size businesses and startups across Europe. Acting as an anchor investor, through its extensive network of partnering banks and investment funds, the EIF mobilizes private investment and nurtures the ecosystem of venture capital funds to support innovative European entrepreneurs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, the EIF together with six member states (France, Germany, Italy, Spain,&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;and the Netherlands)&nbsp;launched&nbsp;the European Tech Champions Initiative, a fund of funds to scale-up innovative startups. This initiative has already enabled the creation of&nbsp;12&nbsp;13&nbsp;European venture capital mega-funds and scaled up 38 companies, including 11 unicorns (with more than \u20ac1 billion in capital).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos of the EIB Group\u2019s spokespeople and headquarters, logo files and video B-roll for media use are available&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eib.org\/en\/_generic\/dynamic-page\/preview\/landing\/6fd3e1d7-0666-499d-8941-f7d64462d841?code=148d26446d7f-1498-d994-6660-7d1e3df6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EIB Advisory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to financing, the EIB Group offers advisory services that help public and private clients develop markets, build capacity and support high-impact investment projects.&nbsp; In 2025 EIB Advisory helped accelerate project delivery and crowd in finance for 179 operations inside and outside the European Union.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>InvestEU<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The InvestEU programme provides the European Union with long-term funding by leveraging substantial private and public funds in support of a sustainable recovery. It also helps to crowd in private investment for the European Union\u2019s strategic priorities such as the European Green Deal and the digital transition. InvestEU brings all EU financial instruments previously available for supporting investments within the European Union together under one roof, making funding for investment projects in Europe simpler, more efficient and more flexible. The programme consists of three components: the InvestEU Fund, the InvestEU Advisory Hub, and the InvestEU Portal. The InvestEU Fund is deployed through implementing partners that will invest in projects using the EU budget guarantee of \u20ac26.2 billion. The entire budget guarantee will back the investment projects of the implementing partners, increase their risk-bearing capacity and thus mobilise at least \u20ac372 billion in additional investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;About CIE Automotive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cieautomotive.com\/en\/home\">CIE Automotive<\/a> is an industrial group specialized in high value-added processes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a full service supplier for components, assemblies and sub-assemblies in the Automotive industry, with a whole range of different technologies (Aluminium, Metal Stamping &amp; Tube Forming, Iron Casting, Machining, Plastic, Forging and Roof Systems) that enables the selection of the technology that fulfils better customers needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cieautomotive.com\/en\/home\">CIE Automotive<\/a> designs and manufactures globally, in 10 R&amp;D centers and 111 production sites distributed in 16 countries on 4 continents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Discover more from The European Sting &#8211; Critical News &amp; Insights on European Politics, Economy, Foreign Affairs, Business &amp; Technology &#8211; europeansting.com<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&lt;!&#8211;<br \/>\n&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; in Europe\u00e2\u0080\u0099s key <span class=\"match\">automotive<\/span> sector CIE <span class=\"match\">Automotive<\/span>, a global manufacturer of &#8230; sustainable manufacturing technologies in the <span class=\"match\">automotive<\/span> sector is critical to further &#8230; additional investment. \u00c2\u00a0About CIE <span class=\"match\">Automotive<\/span> CIE <span class=\"match\">Automotive<\/span> is an industrial group specialized &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96418\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
