Luxembourg / Geneva

EIB and STMicroelectronics announce €1 billion agreement to boost Europe’s

competitiveness and strategic autonomy

• Credit line to strengthen Europe’s semiconductor industry and support innovation, sustainability and

energy efficiency in line with EU objectives

• First €500 million tranche signed to support acceleration of R&D and high-volume chip manufacturing

in Italy and France.

• The new agreement, the ninth between EIB and ST, brings total financing to around €4.2 billion

The European Investment Bank (EIB) and STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM, “ST”) have signed a €500 million

financing agreement to boost Europe’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy. This represents the first tranche a

broader €1 billion credit line recently approved by the EIB in favour of STMicroelectronics, a leading semiconductor

manufacturer with a strong footprint in Europe including Italy, France and Malta and serving the automotive,

industrial, personal electronics, and communication infrastructure markets.

Since 1994, the Bank has supported nine projects with ST, resulting in approximately €4.2 billion of financing. This

new operation will help support ST’s investment programme in innovative semiconductor technologies and devices

in Italy and France, where the company operates both research and development and high-volume manufacturing.

About 60% of the agreement is focused on high-volume manufacturing capabilities, including the key sites of

Catania, Agrate and Crolles, while the remaining 40% is focused on R&D.

“Europe’s ability to lead in semiconductor innovation is vital for our competitiveness, resilience and climate goals.

This agreement reflects the EIB’s commitment to supporting strategic industries that enable the green and digital

transitions and strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty,” said Gelsomina Vigliotti, EIB Vice-President.

“ST continues to be committed to strengthening Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem, and this significant loan from

EIB aims at bolstering our efforts in R&D for differentiated technologies and high-volume manufacturing across our

sites in Italy and France”, said Jean-Marc Chery, President and CEO of STMicroelectronics . “ST’s longstanding

collaboration with the EIB underscores our commitment to ensuring European technology leadership in the global

semiconductor market.”  

“Semiconductors are at the heart of modern economies, powering everything from electric vehicles to digital

infrastructure. By financing ST’s investments in research and advanced manufacturing, we are helping Europe

secure critical technologies and create high-skilled jobs for the future,” added EIB Vice-President Ambroise

Fayolle .

The agreement announced today follows last week’s visit by a high-level EIB delegation, led by Vice-Presidents

Gelsomina Vigliotti and Ambroise Fayolle, to ST’s facility in Catania, a state-of-the-art plant covering the full Silicon

Carbide (SiC) value chain and representing a key element of the EU Bank’s financing.

General information

The European Investment Bank (ElB) is the long-term lending institution of the European Union, owned by its

Member States. Built around eight core priorities , we finance investments that contribute to EU policy objectives by

bolstering climate action and the environment, digitalisation and technological innovation, security and defence,

cohesion, agriculture and bioeconomy, social infrastructure, the capital markets union, and a stronger Europe in a

more peaceful and prosperous world.  

The EIB Group, which also includes the European Investment Fund (EIF) , signed nearly €89 billion in new financing

for over 900 high-impact projects in 2024, boosting Europe’s competitiveness and security.     All projects financed by

the EIB Group are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement, as pledged in our Climate Bank Roadmap . Almost 60%

of the EIB Group’s annual financing supports projects directly contributing to climate change mitigation, adaptation,

and a healthier environment.    

Fostering market integration and mobilising investment, the Group supported a record of over €100 billion in new

investment for Europe’s energy security in 2024 and mobilised €110 billion in growth capital for startups, scale-ups

and European pioneers. Approximately half of the EIB's financing within the European Union is directed towards

cohesion regions, where per capita income is lower than the EU average.
