Cities in the German state of Thuringia face challenges in preparing and implementing financially viable projects in sustainable transport, energy, housing and other services. With the support of the European Investment Advisory Hub, Thüringer Aufbaubank, Thuringia’s promotional bank, helps cities initiate, plan and implement infrastructure investments, improving the use of both public and private resources. The programme focuses on projects in key sectors, such as energy and resource efficiency, the circular economy and green urban development. With support from the European Investment Bank, Thüringer Aufbaubank is developing an online tool to perform economic efficiency analyses of projects.
"Using the newly created advisory approach, developed with the help of the European Investment Advisory Hub, we can counteract municipal problems. In the future, we will not only succeed in initiating municipal investments, but also in promoting and financing them."
