Financing the green transition in Austria

Financing the green transition and decoupling from fossil fuels in Austria

A hybrid conference hosted by the Oesterreichische Nationalbank and the European Investment Bank.

To meet our climate targets and to reduce the economic dependence on fossil fuels we have to develop alternative energy systems and set up an appropriate infrastructure. This transition requires additional investments from companies and governments. Our conference will focus on these investment needs and priorities for Austria, bringing together a group of economists, policymakers, as well as representatives from financial institutions and the business community. After the opening remarks, the results of the EIB Investment survey for Austria will be presented, followed by a presentation of the investment situation. A high level panel will follow, focusing on Financing the investment demand for a greener economy: where does Austria stand.
