The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a new advisory services agreement with six Greek municipalities – Athens, Thessaloniki, Kozani, Trikala, Ioannina and Kalamata – to support the design and implementation of local investment strategies aligned with climate neutrality and smart city objectives.
Signed under the InvestEU Advisory Hub and delivered by EIB Advisory experts in coordination with the European Commission Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, the agreement represents a strategic step toward reinforcing the EIB’s partnership with local authorities in Greece, aiming to accelerate the transition toward sustainable, inclusive, climate-neutral and smart urban development.
EIB Advisory will help municipalities structure and prepare investment programs that respond to their climate and environmental objectives, including in areas such as sustainable urban mobility, energy efficiency, renewable energy, nature-based solutions, circular economy and smart city infrastructure.
The agreement was signed by EIB Vice-President Yannis Tsakiris and the respective mayors and representatives of the participating municipalities, during a dedicated event hosted in Athens.
