The European investment advisory hub (EIAH) aims to strengthen support for project development and preparation by assisting Member States and other promoters to identify investment needs and to prioritise, prepare and structure projects in the EU. Assistance can also be delivered during project implementation phase to ensure successful delivery.
Services available via the EIAH include project development support throughout all stages of the project cycle (from pre-feasibility to financing), as well as upstream or policy advice on market studies, sector strategies, and project screening.
Financial advice is also provided to enhance companies’ ability to access adequate sources of financing. More horizontal assistance can be obtained via process and methodological guidance and trainings on a number of issues related to investment projects (e.g. tendering process, cost benefit analysis, etc.), access to finance and use of EU funds.
The EIAH consists of three complementary components:
- A single point of entry to a wide range of advisory and technical assistance programmes and initiatives for public and private beneficiaries, provided by high-level experts
- A cooperation platform to leverage, exchange and disseminate expertise among the EIAH partner institutions and beyond
- An instrument to assess and address new needs by reinforcing or extending existing advisory services or creating new ones as demand arises.
