• Internal benchmark: Officer, Lending Operations

The Deep Tech & Digital Unit is responsible for the EIB’s direct investment activities aimed at strengthening Europe’s deep tech base. Working alongside leading venture and growth investors, the team identifies and directly finances high-growth, technology-driven companies across sectors including space, defense and dual-use technologies, AI, autonomous robotics, semiconductors, and quantum technologies.

The investments focus on companies whose technologies are critical to Europe’s competitiveness, resilience, and strategic autonomy, but which often require significant long-term, risk-taking capital to scale. The EIB provides equity-type financing packages typically ranging from EUR 10 million to EUR 150 million, using a range of equity risk instruments such as venture debt and convertible structures to support Europe’s most promising technology companies through key growth and scale-up stages.

• Contribute to internal knowledge and process streamlining, including sector intelligence, investment methodologies, templates, tools, and working practices.
• Represent the Bank at relevant conferences, industry events, and on panels.
