🔬 Research and innovation are key to the future of medicine. We are proud to support startups with strong scientific and technological potential, such as Amadix - a Spanish company that has developed an innovative technology to detect cancer through a simple blood test, even before the first symptoms appear. In February, we provided Amadix with a €15 million loan to support: ✔️Research and development of its product portfolio, including PreveCol, its flagship colorectal cancer screening test, as well as PancreaDix and DiagnoLung for pancreatic and lung cancer detection ✔️Clinical validation of PreveCol in the United States ✔️The company’s international expansion, strengthening its presence across Europe and North America. 🗨️ “It is very encouraging to see organisations like the EIB supporting companies like ours, contributing to Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and driving our international growth”, says Rocio Arroyo, Amadix’s founder and CEO. “Thanks to the EIB’s support, more people will have access to innovative solutions such as liquid biopsy to prevent cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, to live longer and better.” Discover the story of this pioneering company 🎥⤵️

A metro expansion, but bigger: 🚇18 new stations 🛠️30 kms of new metro lines 🏙️4 municipalities connected The journey to a greener, more connected Stockholm starts now. Because 730 000 people use Stockholm metro daily to reach places that matter, we thought we'd give it boost and make it green too. We're bringing €400m of new financing to the Region and City of Stockholm to help expand the metro network in a sustainable way. But it is much more than a metro expansion, it is about bringing communities together: 130,500 housing units will be developed along the lines. Oh, and it will help accelerate carbon neutrality targets for #Stockholm and its region by 2045 🌱 Head here to learn more about the project 🔗 bit.ly/Stockholm_Metro #Sustainability #PublicTransport #Europe
