Innovation 2010 Initiative

The financing of innovation will remain a key priority for the Bank as far ahead as 2010. Although the i2i programme comes to the end of its initial three-year term at the close of 2003, the objective set under the Lisbon Strategy continues to be valid. In line with the conclusions of the Stockholm (March 2001) and Barcelona (March 2002) European Councils, at its annual meeting on 3 June 2003 the EIB's Board of Governors approved the renewal of this programme as the Innovation 2010 Initiative.
