EU governments are planning to launch a European Life Sciences Investment Fund as part of a coordinated strategy to make Europe an attractive destination for private investment in research and innovation.
At a meeting in Brussels on September 30, research ministers approved Council conclusions on life sciences for EU competitiveness. These conclusions call on the European Commission to explore the feasibility of establishing a dedicated fund through the European Investment Fund (EIF), which is part of the European Investment Bank Group.
Strong and innovative life sciences are essential for the Union’s sustainable global competitiveness, sovereignty, security, and autonomy. They play a crucial role in ensuring the health and wellbeing of European citizens, addressing societal and environmental challenges, and supporting the transition to a greener economy.
