The first annual event "EIB Venture Debt Summit” brought together representatives from companies that received venture debt financing, investors and high representatives from the European Commission.

biosurfit was granted with a €12 million loan from EIB in 2017. These funds are destined to biosurfit’ s transition to industrial-scale manufacturing through the construction and commissioning of the new manufacturing facility in Azambuja, and to support the rapid commercial roll-out of the Company’s spinit® PoC device in key markets.

The EIB venture debt product supports early-stage, high-risk and innovative projects in the different fields of Biotech & Life sciences, 3D printing, robotics, clean technologies and artificial intelligence.
