A great pleasure to witness good progress of the ongoing #TeamEurope-funded construction of Hanoi Metro Line 3’s underground section – a flagship #GlobalGateway project in Vietnam that significantly contributes to Vietnam’s development of smart urban mobility infrastructures, and a green carbon-neutral future for all.
This morning’s Metro Line 3 visit with EIB Vice President @nicolabeerfdp marks the start of an eventful week, with both Commissioner @JozefSikela and VP Beer attending tomorrow’s EU-Vietnam #GlobalGateway Business and Investment Forum, followed by other high-level meetings.
👋🏼 Hello from the Munich Security Conference, where leaders & experts discuss current challenges and the new global order.
With VP @nicolabeerfdp, our message is clear: we are building bridges and standing up for our shared values, building a safer and prosperous future.
In 2025, the #EIBGroup invested a record €10.4 bn in Germany.
Over €5bn supported companies and innovators & €4.7bn went to energy, strengthening industrial modernisation, security and climate action.

They play an important role in ensuring the highest standards of financial strength, transparency and accountability, so that we can contribute to Europe's strategic priorities with impact and at scale.
German firms on course despite energy prices & skills shortages. @EIB Survey 2025 shows strong AI, innovation & green transition investment - but more replacement than expansion.
