Der Performance Manager Podcast | Für Controller & CFO, die noch erfolgreicher sein wollen
Seit 2025 müssen große multinationale Konzerne öffentlich offenlegen, wo sie weltweit wie viel Steuern zahlen. Was wie eine reine Großkonzern-Pflicht klingt, betrifft auch mittelständische Unternehmen – etwa als deutsche Tochtergesellschaft eines US-Konzerns. Prof. Dr. Dr. habil. Carl-Christian Freidank erklärt, was der Ertragsteuerinformationsbericht wirklich bedeutet, wer betroffen ist und wo die Fallstricke liegen. THEMEN DIESER EPISODE Was ist der EIB und warum wurde er eingeführt? Ziel, Rechtsgrundlage und der Kerngedanke hinter dem Public Country by Country Reporting Wer ist wirklich betroffen? Die drei Fallgruppen jenseits der 750-Millionen-Schwelle Was muss im Bericht stehen?

The BESS market is growing at a phenomenal pace. You would think battery management is becoming easier. The reality? It is becoming increasingly complex. Between data risks, a growing number of suppliers, vertically disintegrated component chains, and constantly evolving software stacks, investors can quickly lose control of their battery fleets. Only a handful of companies truly operate in the fast-maturing field of battery analytics. And we are not talking about market optimisation focused on financial returns, but deep predictive analytics: understanding what happens inside the system itself, with expertise in battery health, performance, and safety. Laurent and Gerard have the privilege of welcoming Stefan Rohr, CEO of TWAICE, one of Germany's leading battery analytics companies.TWAICE has become a major player in recent years: more than 150 employees, including battery scientists, chemists, software engineers, and data scientists, with operations across Europe, the US, and Asia.The company has raised over €60m in equity from leading investors including Energize, Coatue, and Creandum (early investor in Spotify), alongside €25m in debt financing from the EIB. With Stefan, we explored the new complexity of battery fleet management — all the way down to the individual cell. Why BESS is a completely different beast from solar? Why is the excellence in operations becoming the real competitive edge? How to address hardware and software sovereignty challenges? And ultimately, the 20-year question: these assets will remain on the grid for decades. You need to build the operational infrastructure for that reality today — not patch it together later. A highly informative — and delightfully geeky — conversation about managing battery fleet complexity.
The man who helps finance Europe's defence: Robert de Groot, vice president of the European Investment Bank There is a particular kind of power that comes with someone who decides, quietly, which ideas get funded and which don't. Robert de Groot, and his team, holds that power over an extraordinary range of things: military bridges in Poland, rocket launchers in Spain, satellite-to-smartphone startups in Luxembourg, drone intelligence software in Estonia. As Vice President of the world's largest multilateral lender, the EIB sitting on the Kirchberg plateau, his brief covers security, defence, space, and innovation. It is, as he puts it with characteristic understatement, "quite a new direction" for a bank that, not long ago, wouldn't touch defence at all. That has changed. Dramatically. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the EIB has rewritten its mandate, opening five distinct financing pillars across the defence and security ecosystem, from large-scale infrastructure to venture equity for startups building things that didn't exist five years ago. De Groot has spent the last two years touring every European capital, sitting down with defence, finance, and interior ministers, and asking “What does Europe actually need, and can we finance it?” "The urgency I hear in private is far greater than what you see in public." What he found on the road was a continent with a perception gap. The Baltic states are operating in a different psychological reality from much of western Europe. For Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the threat from the east is not geopolitics but geography. However, de Groot is cautiously optimistic. Germany has made a near-complete reversal on defence spending in three years. The Nordics have joined NATO. Ministers of Interior are now showing up to defence finance meetings, because the boundary between military security and civil security has dissolved. Cyber attacks, compromised energy grids, sabotaged undersea cables are happening now. The physical problems, meanwhile, are startlingly concrete. Bridges that cannot carry battle tanks. Ports unable to defend against unmanned underwater vehicles. Roads along NATO transit routes from Antwerp through Germany deep into Poland that haven't been maintained to handle today's military hardware. "It sounds absurd," de Groot says, "until you realise it's a multi-billion euro problem." The financing exists. The fixes are underway. But getting three countries to agree on a shared corridor before one of them goes its own way remains the harder challenge. For innovators and entrepreneurs building the dual-use technologies that now sit at the heart of European defence strategy, de Groot offers a map through the financing ecosystem. Early stage? Venture capital funds backed by the European Investment Fund. Series A and B? Venture debt, a product barely known in Europe five years ago, now scaling fast, with Luxembourg companies OQ Technology and Artec 3D among its beneficiaries. Series C and beyond? The European Tech Champions Initiative, designed explicitly to stop European unicorns from decamping to California. And for defence tech specifically, a new Defence Equity Facility of up to one billion euros: real, patient, European capital, with no American relocation clause attached. "The companies I meet across Europe mostly want to stay. We need to make sure the financing is there when they do." On the day of interview, a loan was signed for the Luxembourg Fire Brigade's logistics infrastructure. Security exists at multiple scales simultaneously, from orbital launch capability to the speed at which a fire engine reaches a crisis. Both matter and both require investment. Both represent the same underlying bet: that Europe, if it chooses to move with enough conviction, is more than capable of defending and financing its own future. De Groot, for his part, seems to believe it. The question, as ever, is whether the institutions can move as fast as the moment requires. Robert de Groot is Vice President of the European Investment Bank, responsible for Security, Defence, Space and Innovation Finance.

But the conversation around why that keeps happening is worth having.What we get into:What the CFT actually is — seven events, one running clock, pass or fail. And why if you can run a 10-minute mile you're probably fine.Why the EIB standard is the same test, with body armor and a helmet, three minutes faster — and what that says about how easy the CFT bar actually is.The Pygmalion effect — every time the Army lowered the standard, it told the force exactly what it thought they were capable of.Why one soldier who enlisted in 2019 and served until 2023 only took one PT test in four years of infantry service. Because we kept changing things.The medic problem — combat is literally in their MOS name, and they're not on the list.Why 13 Bravo cannon crew members aren't considered combat arms but Army divers are, and what that says about how this list gets built.The case for publishing MOS-level fitness score averages so soldiers can see where they actually stand relative to their peers.Whether having the Pentagon direct fitness culture is a good thing — and why for some services it might be the only thing that's actually moved the needle.Mentioned in this episode:Secretary Hegseth's September 2025 memo — Military Fitness Standards for the Department of WarACRT — the earlier Army competitor to the ACFT that never made itDA Pam 611-21 — Military Occupational Classification and Structure, Alex knew the number off the top of his headAFT Insight — aftinsight.com, free AFT score interpreter and training programsBUSAR — their proposed fitness test that requires a picnic table and holds up surprisingly wellTyler Vargas Andrews — Whistling Death on Instagram, lost an arm and a leg at Abbey Gate and still goes harder than most people with all four limbsMelissa Stockwell — Paralympic triathlete, showed up to a climbing gym without a prosthetic and just climbed anywayThe Tyranny of Metrics by Jerry Mueller — referenced again, Jerry please come on the podcast
Welcome back to The Agriculture Season, our new series that explores the food on your plate, how it got there, and its global impact on the environment, social justice, and the economy. What does a can of tuna have to do with agricultural policy? More than you'd expect! Case studies like the Tuna Boycott of 1988 show how consumer demand can drive policy change. Real, meaningful, GLOBAL change. The girls argue that consumer demand for agricultural reform could beget similar results.Right now, the US and EU are experiencing parallel legislative and grassroots shifts. Both are pivotal moments for food policy. This episode explores these parallels, which begs the question: if demand requires us to move away from traditional "subsidize and produce" models and toward "climate-smart" and "fair-access" frameworks, what policies will we need to support our farmers as well as our environmental goals? Moreover, are our policymakers ready to rise to this occasion?_____________________________________________________________To stay on top of Hotel Earth 360° updates, check out our links belowSubstack: https://hotelearth360.substack.com/ Instagram: @hotelearth360TikTok: @hotelearth360Website: hotelearth360.com To receive the Hotel Earth newsletter, for environmental news, episode announcements, book club updates, and more, subscribe to our Substack: https://hotelearth360.substack.com/subscribe

“We put the money where Europe's priorities are. Many people may think defence is about tanks. No, defence is also about energy security. It is about social cohesion and territorial cohesion. That's the European brand. So we need to act in all these areas in order to ensure peace, security, stability on our continent.” Peter Macjob speaks to Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank, about Europe's shifting priorities, and the growing urgency around defence and security. With wars, energy shocks and tariffs reshaping the global economy, Europe is being forced to rethink its position in a changing world. The EIB is the EU's lending arm, mobilising billions of euros to finance infrastructure, energy and technology projects across Europe and the developing world. Calviño, a former Spanish finance minister, took on the role in 2024 at a time of war in Ukraine, rising geopolitical tensions and growing strain on global trade.

I det här avsnittet pratar vi med Eugenia Kazamaki Ottersten, som under många år varit chef på European Investment Bank, EIB. EIB är en ”policybank” som stöttar både offentliga och privata investeringar i Europa. Banken grundades 1958 för att stötta regional utveckling och för att implementera EU:s politik och prioriteringar och är ett bra exempel på hur komplext och mångsidigt det är att ta ett helhetsgrepp kring Europas utveckling. För att lyckas krävs mycket samverkan – mellan länder, regioner, samhällsområden, yrkesgrupper. Eugenia berättar om intressanta lärdomar och perspektiv som stärkts i henne genom att så länge ha arbetat i ett så samverkansintensivt sammanhang. Vi pratar bland annat om - Rikedomen som skapas genom att arbeta tillsammans i Europa – ”Ett starkt EU är mycket bättre än ett par starka länder” - Att ingen kan göra allt – betydelsen av att våga prioritera och nischa sig på vissa platser, utifrån ett europeiskt helhetsperspektiv - Hur viktigt det är att främja interaktioner mellan aktörer och förstå hur allt hänger ihop, som tex arbetsmarknad, sysselsättning, företagande, skola och utbildning, för att kunna se nya möjligheter - Vikten av gemensamma mål och att ha gemensamma processer - Vad man kan lära sig av att röra sig i en multinationell miljö med kollegor från olika länder Eugenia återkommer i samtalet till vikten av samverkan: ”Jobbar vi tillsammans och samverkar så är vi mycket starkare, det är bara så”. Trevlig lyssning!
Insights from the EIB Group Forum 2026: EIB President Nadia Calviño joins global leaders to discuss security, space, and why dignity is our best defence. The EIB Group Forum 2026, held in the heart of Luxembourg, served as a powerful reminder that Europe is no longer taking its security, energy, or democratic values for granted. Under the theme "A Strong Europe in a Changing World," a stellar lineup of speakers and an international audience explored how investment and individual action are shaping a resilient future. In this video you'll find: 00:00 Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), on the EIB's mission, European resilience, and the main levers of competitiveness. 16.40 Nikolai Coster-Waldau, Actor and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador on climate optimism, the UNDP's mission, and the strength of European unity in Greenland. 26.46 Oleksandra Matviichuk, Nobel Peace Prize Winner & Chair of the Center for Civil Liberties; on the resistance in Ukraine, the power of ordinary people, and reclaiming European values. 42.00 Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, ESA Astronaut from Poland, on the "European story," space as critical infrastructure, and the Space Tech EU funding program. The EIB: Financing the European Success Story Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), describes the institution as one of the EU's greatest success stories. By leveraging capital from Member States, the EIB transforms infrastructure, from highways and hospitals to high-risk innovative startups in the space sector. President Calviño emphasised that 2026 is the ‘year of competitiveness' focusing on market integration and simplification to help European companies remain resilient against global shocks. An Optimist's Guide to Humanity Actor and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Nikolai Coster-Waldau brought a message of hope, urging a shift away from "doom and gloom" climate communication that creates division. Through his project, An Optimist's Guide to the Planet, he explores human innovation and the common values that connect us. He emphasised that whilst the planet will survive, our focus must remain on protecting one another through unity and solidarity. Dignity as Action: The Frontline of Freedom In a deeply moving speech, Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk reminded the forum that "ordinary people can change history". Detailing the harrowing reality of the invasion in Ukraine, she argued that the collapse of the international order was preceded by an ethical crisis. For Matviichuk, the fight for Ukraine is a fight for the very idea of freedom, asserting that "dignity is action" and that Europe must move beyond being a "consumer of democracy" to becoming its fierce protector. From Outer Space to Strategic Sovereignty Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski shared his journey as a student in Łódź to the International Space Station: a path only made possible by Poland's EU accession and the Erasmus programme. He highlighted that space is not just for dreamers; it is "invisible, critical infrastructure" that synchronises power grids and stock markets. Through the €500 million Space Tech EU program, the EIB and ESA are now funding the next generation of European technological champions. https://www.undp.org/goodwill-ambassadors/nikolaj-coster-waldau https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/Astronauts/Slawosz_Uznanski-Wisniewski https://www.nobelprize.org/events/nobel-prize-dialogue/brussels2024/panellists/oleksandra-matviichuk/#:~:text=Oleksandra%20Matviichuk%20is%20a%20human,the%202022%20Nobel%20Peace%20Prize.
När EIB nyligen höll sin årliga konferens var energifrågan i centrum för hur Europa ska öka sin konkurrenskraft, något som blivit allt mer aktuellt givet konflikten i Mellanöstern och den hotande energikrisen. Med oss för att diskutera vägen framåt har vi idag Marcus Svedberg, chefsekonom på Folksam och Mats Nyman, placeringsstrateg på Handelsbanken. Programledare är Gabriel Mellqvist.
With International Women's Day on 8 March, this episode explores both the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and the critical role women play in driving climate action.In this episode, James and Daisy discuss and celebrate women. How are women disproportionately affected by climate change? And why are they central to climate solutions?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Women Leading on Climate (WLOC) – A global coalition of women leaders. Women are 2.5x more likely to demand government climate action, twice as likely to engage civically, and 60% more likely to use their voice for good. Project Drawdown – Makes the case for recognizing family planning and girls' education as effective long-term climate adaptation strategies.Conciliation Resources (2024) – A workshop in Nigeria found women often show greater climate adaptability, partly due to exclusion from conventional inputs. Women farmers used manure fertiliser amid unpredictable weather, while men typically used harmful pesticides women cannot access.OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:International Women's Day – 2026 theme: ‘Give To Gain'. UN – Women aged 25-34 are 25% more likely than men to live in extreme poverty.UN – Women make up the majority of the world's poor, who are highly dependent on natural resources. Women and children are 14x more likely to die than men in climate disasters. In wealthier societies, women drive 70-80% of consumer purchasing decisions.UN (2025) – One study found a 28% rise in femicide during heatwaves. UN Women – Women carry out at least 2.5x more unpaid household and care work than men.UN Women (2025) – As of September 2025, 29 countries have women Heads of State and/or Government (32 women total). FAO (2023) – Women produce 60-80% of the food in most developing countries.EIB (2023) – Countries with more women in Parliament are more prone to ratify environmental treaties. Companies with more women on boards are more likely to improve energy efficiency, reduce firms' overall environmental impact and invest in renewable energy. At COP26, men held 10 of 12 UK leadership roles. Earth Day (2025) – 62% of women are climate voters in the US (vs. 37% of men). “Greenness” is often linked with femininity. Women generally purchase eco-friendly products more frequently, consume less carbon, are more likely to recycle, minimize waste, and save more water and energy. In one study, women became more concerned climate impacts and more supportive of mitigation policies when asked to consider future generations; men experienced no such change.IRC (2023) – Climate change has been linked to a 39% surge in child marriage in Bangladesh. After disasters, 86% of girls face increased domestic workloads, affecting their studies.Hidden Connections – Documentary on climate change and child marriage in Bangladesh. LSE (2025) – Women's food and transport carbon footprint are 26% lower than men's in France. CEO Magazine (2023) – With 10 new female CEOs in the S&P 500 index, women finally outnumbered CEOs named John.Vegan Society (2025) – More women (3.60%) than men (1.89%) say they are vegan or have a plant-based diet. Financial Alliance for Women – Non-performing loans from women are 53% lower than from men.One Earth (2025) – The Paris Agreement and its guiding principle of 'net zero emissions' was shaped by women leaders (the "lionesses") including Farhana Yamin, Christiana Figueres, and Tessa Tennant.Cara Daggett (2018) – Introduced “petro-masculinity” to describe the hypermasculine mode of support for fossil fuels in rising authoritarian movements.McKinsey (2023) - Top-quartile companies for gender diversity were 39% more likely to financially outperform.

January and February 2026 reveal a disciplined expansion across the DACH startup ecosystem. After reviewing more than 15,000 funding announcements, we identify structural capital concentration in enterprise AI, ESG/CSRD compliance platforms, defense and dual-use technologies, industrial robotics, and milestone-driven biotech — with visible institutional participation from EIB, KfW, and major German banks. DACH venture capital in early 2026 shows selective growth-stage normalization. Capital flows favor revenue clarity, regulatory alignment, and strategic industrial positioning. Enterprise AI integrated into operational workflows, compliance SaaS driven by CSRD mandates, defense-adjacent deep tech, robotics modernization of the Mittelstand, and clinical-stage biotech programs attract institutional participation. Consumer and speculative categories remain constrained.
Steve and Frank from PowerShack join Will and Jay for one of the most entertaining episodes yet.From running a small Essex wholesaler to becoming viral TikTok stars, the lads from Blackwall Electrical Supplies talk openly about business, burnout, buying groups and the power of social media in the electrical trade.
With over 20 years of experience at EIB, Shiva Dustdar is one of the leading voice in the European impact discourse. Leading into Impact Week, she took some time of her busy schedule to discuss their most recent projects, how they contribute to European competitiveness and which innovations they foresee in the years to come.
Europe leads the world in discovery — yet too often, its breakthroughs never become global companies.Billions in research funding turn into patents, not products.While others build empires from ideas, Europe risks becoming the world's laboratory — brilliant, but broke.That's the paradox at the heart of this conversation.In this episode, Karl Nehammer, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and former Chancellor of Austria, joins Christian Soschner live at BIO-Europe 2025 to discuss how Europe can turn its world-class science into world-class companies.He shares how leadership forged in crisis can rebuild confidence, competitiveness, and growth — and why every crisis hides an opportunity to start thinking differently.
「欧州投銀とイベルドローラ、バルト海洋上風力に5億ユーロ融資」 欧州投資銀行(EIB)は11月3日、スペインのエネルギー大手イベルドローラに対し、ドイツ・バルト海で建設中の洋上風力発電所「Windanker」向けに5億ユーロのグリーンローンを提供すると発表した。The post 欧州投銀とイベルドローラ、バルト海洋上風力に5億ユーロ融資 first appeared on サステナビリティ・ESG金融・投資メディア - HEDGE GUIDE.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the finance arm of the EU. It provides loans and grants for projects which it believes will support start up and government, especially in the space of decarbonisation. It funded the highly successful Luas construction and the less successful unfinished National Children's Hospital. The EIB has now launched a new toolkit for companies to see where the organisation can help. And it's hoping to boost Ireland's almost non-existent district heating scheme. Diarmaid Kehoe is the head of the EIB in Ireland and joined Joe Lynam on the show this morning.
Can choirs be a form of protest, and what kinds of resistance could they provide in the midst of climate crises?Our mini-series, ‘as a chorus' begins with Niamh Schmidtke's work, CHANTER (Aughinish). Their 15 minute audio introduces us to an aluminium refinery and it's impact on the local population. Combining song and audio description, the work brings together its own chorus, inviting us to join their melodies, building from the individual to the collective as our awareness of their injustice intensifies. Together we discuss how the work incites forms of direct action, and the need for collective making.This work was made with the support of Askeaton Contemporary Arts.Voices (in order of appearance); Bernadette Hayes, Inbher Glenn Community Choir, Monya Riachi, Christopher Clery, Grainne Hassett and Akinsola Lawanson.Bio:Niamh Schmidtke (b. Dublin 1997, they/she) is an artist, lecturer and arts facilitator based across London and Limerick. They explore the politics of green washing, economic jargon and the language of democracy through speculation, audio, ceramics and installations, centring intimacy as a form of decolonial praxis. They examine the relationship between listening and speaking, to consider the kinds of voices that deep time, the sea, or humans could have with one another. They currently lecture in the School of Architecture, Limerick, with an MFA from Goldsmiths, London and BA from LSAD. Awards include; Agility Award, Material Futures Residency at Cove Park Scotland and the European Investment Bank's (EIB) Artist Development fund.

Green Deal je Európska zelená dohoda, ktorá cez rôzne regulácie zamerané predovšetkým na znižovanie emisií CO2 chce urobiť z Európy klimaticky neutrálnu ekonomiku do roku 2050. Cieľom je bojovať proti klimatickej zmene, ktorej škodlivé následky sa už dnes vyčísľujú v miliardách eur. Napriek všeobecne prospešnému cieľu má Green Deal veľa odporcov, ktorí namietajú, že EÚ takto neúmerne zaťažuje priemysel i bežných ľudí a vo výsledku poškodzuje svoju konkurencieschopnosť. Podobné názory presadzuje aj viacero predstaviteľov slovenskej vládnej koalície, napríklad minister životného prostredia Tomáš Taraba. Existujú však aj mnohé firmy, ktoré dokážu zo zelenej transformácie ťažiť a využívať ju vo svoj prospech. Potvrdzuje to aj Michaela Hletková Ploszeková zo Zväzu automobilového priemyslu, kde je zodpovedná za komunikáciu s vládou v oblasti environmentálnej legislatívy. Zároveň pracuje v jednej slovenskej automobilke ako vedúca oddelenia životného prostredia. Je presvedčená, že Slovensko potrebuje ako spoločnosť dospieť v otázkach zelenej transformácie a prijať ju ako nový ekonomický model. „Ak ju nechápeme a bojíme sa jej, tak nás prenasledujú zbytočné obavy,“ tvrdí, Hletková Ploszeková. Jej skúsenosti z praxe potvrdzujú, že schopnosť zavádzať zelené opatrenia do výroby prináša firmám úspory a konkurenčnú výhodu. Napriek tomu väčšina firiem na Slovensku vníma Green Deal ako hrozbu. Podľa prieskumu EIB 48% slovenských firiem vníma zelenú reguláciu ako riziko a len 10% ako príležitosť. Michaela Hletková Ploszeková v rozhovore uvádza príklady, ako je zelená transformácia pre krajinu prospešná a približuje dôvody, pre ktoré sa tento proces na Slovensku rozbieha pomaly. Odpovedá aj na otázky, keď bude Európa schopná recyklovať všetky batérie z elektromobilov a prečo sa netreba báť podnikov na spracovanie odpadu. Moderuje Eva Mihočková.

Your host, Allen Hall, shares the renewable industry news you may have missed. Allen Hall: Okay, starting off the week over in Romania, the European investment bank is investing 30 million euros in a major wind farm project in Romania. The poster two project located near the Black Sea, will have a capacity of up to 400 megawatts. That's enough to supply over 1.4 million Romanian households for an entire year. The EIB is partnering with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners on the project with the total investment expected to be in excess of 500 million Euros. Construction is due to start later this year and it will bolster the European Union's push for climate neutrality by mid-century. German energy Giant RWE, reported an adjusted EBITDA of 1.3 billion euros [00:01:00] for the first three months of 2025. Adjusted net income amounted to 0.5 billion euros as expected earnings were below the level of the same quarter last year. This decline was primarily attributable to normalization of income in the flexible generation segment and a weaker start to the year in the trading business. The commissioning of new offshore wind farms, solar plants, and battery storage facilities had a positive impact on the company's performance. RWE commissioned 600 megawatts of new generation capacity in the first quarter alone. The company, currently has new plants with a combined capacity of 11.2 gigawatts under construction. Michael Mueller, chief financial officer of RWE, stated that they were reaffirming their full year earnings forecast after a solid start to the year. He noted, that the company is making great progress in expanding its portfolio in a value accretive manner. Construction projects remain on schedule [00:02:00] and on budget. Over in Norway, Equinor is warning it may cancel its Empire Wind Project off New York's coast. Following a Trump administration stop work order, the company is spending $50 million weekly to keep the project afloat while awaiting resolution. Molly Morris, president of Equinor's US renewable energy arm, describe the situation as unsustainable. The Interior Department led by Secretary Doug Bergham ordered Equinor to halt construction on April 17th. The order cited information suggesting the Biden administration may have approved the project without a thorough environmental analysis. The stop work order stemmed from a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. However, Equinor says it has not seen the report and is not aware of the specific concerns raised. The project represents a significant investment for Equinor. The company has already invested $2.7 billion in the [00:03:00] Empire Wind Facility. Currently, 11 vessels with 100 workers remain on board, sitting on the water, waiting for an order to resume work. That's this week's top. New stories. Stay tuned tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.
Wanneer er in de Europese Unie grote bouwprojecten van de grond moeten komen, vinden commerciële banken die vaak te riskant. Daarom is de Europese Investeringsbank opgezet, die miljarden aan ziekenhuizen, waterleidingbedrijven en andere essentiële instanties leent. De man die er twaalf jaar lang de leiding had, staat nu onder verdenking van corruptie. Medewerkers deden bij Simon Van Dorpe een boekje open over de man en zijn bank.
The European Investment Bank has existed since the inception of the European Union in the 1950s, but despite its vital role as the EU's lending arm, it has not gained the media attention of institutions such as the European Commission or the European Parliament. That is now changing, however. The EIB is taking on a more high-profile role, financing projects in the fields of security and defence. This is a shift that our guest has referred to as a "seismic shock". Nadia Calviño is the president of the European Investment Bank, and the first woman and first Spaniard to lead the institution. She served as First Vice-President of the Spanish government and Minister of Economy, Trade and Enterprise until December 2023, in the cabinet of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Het is de grootste publieke kredietverstrekker ter wereld, maar waarschijnlijk heeft u er nog nooit van gehoord. De Europese Investeringsbank (EIB) deelt per jaar zo'n 90 miljard euro aan leningen uit, ook in Nederland. Grote kans dat bijvoorbeeld uw waterleiding mede is gefinancierd door die investeringsbank. En nu zet de EIB een opvallende stap: de bank past de eigen regels aan om het makkelijker te maken te investeren in defensieprojecten. Kan deze bank een belangrijke rol spelen in het opbouwen van de Europese defensie-industrie? Presentator Hans van der Steeg gaat erover in gesprek met Robert de Groot, vice-president van de EIB.
Europa wil in hoog tempo veel meer investering in haar eigen defensie. En de druk is groot om minder afhankelijk te worden van Amerika en China. Maar hoe snel kan dat? In het plan van 800 miljard om Europa te herbewapenen speelt ook de Europese Investeringsbank (EIB) een rol. Wat is financieel mogelijk om ons veiliger en onafhankelijker te maken? En welke praktische problemen staat dit mogelijk in de weg? Annette gaat in gesprek met de vicepresident van de EIB, Robert de Groot.

Allen Hall: Starting off the week, the European Investment Bank is making bold moves to accelerate wind energy development across Europe, signing significant agreements with both BNP Paribas and Banco Satandier. These partnerships will generate up to 16 billion euros in wind energy investments through innovative counter guarantee agreements. The initiatives are part of the EIB's broader 5 billion euro wind power package, demonstrating Europe's commitment to renewable energy expansion and industrial competitiveness. The deals will enable manufacturers to receive advanced payments and provide performance guarantees for new wind projects, while also supporting supply chain efficiency and grid interconnections. This financing structure is backed by Invest eu, the eus ambitious program aiming to mobilize over 372 billion euros in investments by 2027. 2400 onshore wind turbines representing 14 gigawatts of capacity. While the upcoming election has introduced some uncertainty with skepticism from leading parties, Industry experts still remain optimistic. The CDU, likely to lead the next government, is expected to maintain support for wind energy given its reliability and cost effectiveness in producing clean energy. Over in the UK, Octopus Energy's groundbreaking investment platform, The Collective, has demonstrated remarkable success with its first two wind projects selling out within just one week. The platform democratizes renewable energy investment by allowing public participation with investments ranging from 25 to 20, 000 with no fees. Located in Yorkshire and Wales, these projects attracted hundreds of investors. And the company is now expanding to expand the platform through its Pass the Power campaign, inviting more renewable energy projects to list on the platform. And in the United States, despite challenging political headwinds, Xcel Energy is making significant progress in renewable energy deployment in the Upper Midwest. Their ambitious plan includes adding 3, 400 megawatts of wind energy and 550 megawatts of solar power. The company aims to retire all coal plants in the region by 2030 and potentially reduce emissions by up to 88 percent compared to 2005 levels. The plan also includes innovative energy storage solutions including testing new iron air battery technology at their Becker site. That's this week's top news stories. Stay tuned tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast with Rosemary Barnes, Joel Saxum, Phil Totaro, and me.

Matt turns the reigns over to one Rush Limbaugh to tell you about the true story of Thanksgiving.
In April, a group of multilateral development banks signed an agreement to work more closely together, known as a viewpoint note, which set a series of goals, including scaling up their financing capacity, and delivering more on climate. Earlier this week, at the U.N. General Assembly, the heads of MDBs sat down with U.N. leaders to identify how they could make more progress to deliver those goals. Devex heard from Ilan Goldfajn, president of the Inter-American Development Bank, about the steps taken so far. Goldfajn said there had been considerable progress in unifying the goals of the MDBs with the Group of 20 major economies and with U.N. agencies. MDBs have increased lending capacity by $400 billion over the next 10 years, mostly through reforms but partly due to closer working, Goldfajn explained. He added that last year, the banks had lent a quarter more on climate and doubled the amount of finance mobilized, compared to 2022. He also highlighted several projects where IDB had worked together with the World Bank and the EIB. Devex Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sat down with Goldfajn for a special episode of our This Week in Global Development podcast series.

With Ursula von der Leyen securing another term as European Commission President, EU members are now vying for the top positions in the new Commission. In what Politico called a show of his growing political strength, Prime Minister Mitsotakis stressed that Greece must get an important portfolio, one that reflects the country's economic comeback and strategic position. President Christodoulides is also looking for a heavier post for Cyprus, eyeing the new role in the Commission on the Mediterranean. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece must get an important role in the Commission, prime minister tells von der LeyenCyprus eyes chance to run EU Mediterranean policy Ankara eyes offshore hydrocarbon exploration in Libya, minister saysGreece warns Turkey against illegal activities in EEZ established by 2020 dealGreek lenders and EIB boost mid-caps funding
In the same way that I greatly enjoyed hosting the EIB, the EIF, a deputy, and a finance minister, I am delighted this week to understand the role played by the World Bank in the digitalisation and modernisation of financial systems in emerging countries. Together with Andrea, we explore the example of instant payments and examine the role played by the World Bank in this implementation, particularly through the practical case of their deployment in the Western Balkans. This sheds light on this historic institution based in Washington, DC—a great way to understand the nature of their collaborations with both public and private sectors. You will understand concretely how the World Bank assists developing economies worldwide in modernizing payment systems and the financial sector in general. By partnering with policymakers and the private sector, it develops a new playbook to drive impactful and resilient development. Modernizing the financial sector is just one aspect of it, as the World Bank has already been supporting more than 12,000 development projects, including infrastructure, schools, and roads.

In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of renewable energy's latest developments in Europe. Starting off with Norway's first offshore wind tender, which saw The Ventyr JV between Parkwind, Ingka Investments and NorSea being awarded the development mandate for the 1.5GW Sørlige Nordsjø II. We take the opportunity to take a driven look at Europe's offshore wind sector. Next, we turn to the solar industry, where we dissect a series of tender announcements across Europe, including the French Ministry of Ecological Transition's solar results, and Romania's first solar and onshore CfD auction. We also look at announcements from Sonnedix on a ten-project portfolio and examine new solar commitments from the EIB.Digging into this, we take a look at how Europe's solar manufacturing sector is holding up in the face of stiff competition from China.Also on this episode, we dive deep into the market dynamics of battery energy storage in Europe and discuss the challenges of unrealised revenue models.Finally, turning to the UK's second REMA consultation, we address the pros of regional pricing but also how it could leave stranded assets in the UK's most promising renewable sites.Hosted by:Oliver Carr - Lead AnalystViola Caon - Head of ContentDila Cebeci Smith - Senior AnalystReach out to us at: podcasts@inspiratia.comFind all of our latest news and analysis by subscribing to inspiratiaListen to all our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other providers.

As we commemorate what would have been the 73rd birthday of the unparalleled Rush Limbaugh, I'm struck by the profound influence his voice had on America's conversation about freedom and liberty. Today, our episode stands as a heartfelt tribute to Rush's enduring legacy, as we explore the heart of American exceptionalism through the lens of his iconic commentary. We're weaving together the powerful insights from "Radio's Greatest of All Time: Rush Limbaugh" with my own reflections on our nation's founding principles, Rush's unwavering faith in our inherent rights, and the indomitable American spirit.Key Points from the Episode:Take a moment to consider the might and moral authority of our armed forces, the guardians of liberty. We tackle the complex yet pressing topic of "peace through strength," recognizing the delicate balance between championing human rights and avoiding the pitfalls of being the world's enforcer. Together, we'll celebrate the victories and valor that have shaped our nation's history, from defeating despots to catalyzing peace in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords. Let's pay homage to the brave souls who have fought for freedom, and the founding fathers who envisioned a land of unlimited potential.Concluding with an homage to Ronald Reagan, we draw parallels between his and Rush's vision of America as a shining city on a hill. Sharing stories of personal enlightenment, I recount how Rush's insights fostered a deeper appreciation for Reagan's leadership - one marked by triumph over adversity and an unbreakable bond with the American people. As we honor Rush Limbaugh in this tribute, we invite you to join us in upholding the foundational values he championed, and to continue building upon our collective spirit of optimism as we forge ahead into the future holding high the torch of Liberty that Rush for three decades behind the golden EIB microphone gave voice too!God Bless Heaven's anchorman!Other resources: Music Credit: The Pretenders, My City was GoneMore goodnessGet your FREE Academy Review here!Get our top book recommendations listGet new podcast episodes dropped into your email box easilyWant to leave a review?

Turkey's main opposition party ousted its longtime leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu this weekend following his comprehensive loss in the presidential elections earlier this year. Members of the Republican People's party (CHP) voted on Sunday to replace Kılıçdaroğlu with Özgür Özel, who has called for reform both in how the party is managed and how it approaches the upcoming elections, vowing to take an inclusive approach. Ayla Jean Yackley, a journalist covering Turkey with stories in The Financial Times, Politico, and other major outlets, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the new leader of Turkey's opposition, and break down what we should expect as we approach local elections in March.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey's opposition ousts longtime leader after general election defeatPyatt looks forward to continuing partnership with Greece on energyPower distribution operator gets €150 mln EIB loan for smart meters
In this week's Inside Albania: I interviewed Kosova's Foreign Minister Donika Gervalla-Schwartz on the recent terrorist attack, how it is time Kosova joins NATO, the failures of the EU and West in believing the warnings, and Serbia's real motives. I also spoke with Flora Ferati the researcher who brought to light the 'administrative ethnic cleansing' of more than 6000 ethnic Albanians from the south of Serbia. She said the EU stance that it is too late to be included in Kosovo-Serbia dialogue is an excuse. Deputy Finance Minister Endrit Yzeiraj explains what happened at the pre-Berlin Summit Economy Minister's meeting in Tirana last week, and the EIB unveil their big investment plans for Albania.
Friday Brain Clearing: No, Politico, conservatives have not become “anti-business”; A reporter does the most beautiful thing for all of us; Randi Weingarten goes to the new Mecca. To answer again, I was not sad when I didn't get the EIB gig. Think of Fridays own our show like mental house cleanings: we make sure we don't miss anything in the news cycle and continue to apply God's Word. Today: two separate articles in the Politico contend conservatives are against what they call “corporate-capitalism.” But, The Politico is not capable of seeing what we are against because they are lobbyists who also do some writing. For example, we are against Pfizer, which is a government not a company; we are against the CDC, which is a pharmaceutical company, not a government agency. Pfizer just got to needle rape people, it got to shut down schools, it got to experiment on hundreds of millions of people in direct violation of the Nuremburg Codes. The CDC's scientists got paid by pharma. What we are against, Politico, is the unholy alliance of these entities, which have morphed into one thing, from which you make your money. I will make that case in better form in the show. Oh, my goodness, I love this comparison. The current Whitehouse Spokesliar, who has her job because of her physical characteristics and sexual preferences, stands in a box built with walls and explains that a Nation that can alter global weather with taxes cannot figure out how to build walls that stand up to heavy winds. I love this equally, but differently: a Spokesliar for the State Department made some claims about Russia he said were based upon recently declassified information. Then, a reporter did the unthinkable: he asked the Spokesliar, “where are those documents?” This is the look the Spokesiar's facial muscles produced at that question. It's not the last item, there is more in the show, but I am now going to call myself what Nick Hudson has adopted as his Title: a Collusion Theorist. What does God's Word Say? In response to the latest member of the Podcast family to ask me if I was sad when I wasn't put into the Maha's show time on EIB, I share this scripture and say with no reservation whatever: No. I was not sad in the least.

Mark is the author of After America, which was a Top Five bestseller in the United States and a Number One bestseller in Canada; America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It, a New York Times bestseller in the United States and a Number One bestseller in Canada; and his most recent bestseller, The [Un]documented Mark Steyn. His most recent CD is his cat album, dedicated to his own beloved cat Marvin: Feline Groovy: Songs for Swingin' Cats was a Number One jazz bestseller, a Top Twenty album on the Billboard chart, and a Top Thirty album on Amazon's pop chart. "A Marshmallow World", his Christmas single with Jessica Martin, reached Number Seven on Amazon's easy listening bestsellers, and Number 41 on their main pop chart. Their subsequent full-length Christmas album, Making Spirits Bright, reached Number Four on the jazz chart. "Nine Lives", the song he co-wrote with Kevin Amos, was a Top Thirty smash on the Moldovan Hit Parade. Thank you, Moldova! Steyn's human rights campaign to restore free speech to Canada led to the repeal by Parliament of the notorious "Section 13" hate-speech law, a battle he recounts in his book Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech And The Twilight Of The West. Mark hosts The Mark Steyn Show, which airs every evening Monday to Thursday. He also presents Steyn's Song of the Week every Sunday afternoon on Serenade Radio. In New York he can be heard with his longtime EIB comrade, Bo Snerdley, every Tuesday on 77 WABC. For a decade and a half until Rush's death, Mark was a hugely popular guest-host of America's Number One radio show The Rush Limbaugh Program. He was also a favorite guest-host of America's Number One cable show Tucker Carlson Tonight, and hosted its lead-in-show Fox News Primetime. He regularly drew some of the highest ratings in all US television as a host for Tucker and other top shows. With fans around the world, Steyn has appeared on stages across the planet from Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. His 2016 nationwide tour of Australia was sold out coast to coast. He has spoken in the Canadian Parliament, the Ontario Parliament, the Danish Parliament, and the Australian Parliament, where he was introduced by the then Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop. Over the years, Mark's writing on politics, arts and culture has been published in almost every major newspaper around the English-speaking world, including Britain's Daily Telegraph, Canada's National Post, The Australian, The Irish Times, The Jerusalem Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many more. Mark's other books include A Song For The Season, Mark Steyn's Passing Parade, Mark Steyn From Head To Toe and The Face Of The Tiger. His personal view of musical theatre, Broadway Babies Say Goodnight, is an acknowledged classic published to critical acclaim in London, and to somewhat sniffier notices in New York. https://www.steynonline.com/ https://twitter.com/marksteynonline Freedom isn't free - James needs your support to continue creating The Delingpod.

إستمع للموسم العاشر من عيب هنا: https://listen.sowt.com/Eib "هذه هي المعاركُ التي لا نختارُها". في يوم الحب نعيش تفاصيل معركة حب لشاب فضّل أن تبقى هويته مجهولة. كتب سبع رسائل لحبيبته لارا. تبدأ الرسائل كالبدايات البديهية لمعظم قصص الحب، تتصاعد وتتعقد… وتنتهي بمودة وعتاب.
THE THESIS: In a fallen world, we should not be surprised that entire business sectors are built around lies. We can treat this as horrible news, or we can give praise to God for giving us all the easiest, pass / fail that will ever exist. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Matthew 6:22-24 “If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires, you are in deep spiritual darkness. And oh, how deep that darkness can be! “You cannot serve two masters: God and money. For you will hate one and love the other, or else the other way around. Luke 16:13-15 “You cannot serve two masters at the same time. You will hate one master and love the other. Or you will be loyal to one and not care about the other. You cannot serve God and Money at the same time.” The Pharisees were listening to all these things. They criticized Jesus because they all loved money. Jesus said to them, “You make yourselves look good in front of people. But God knows what is really in your hearts. What people think is important is worth nothing to God. 1 Timothy 6:9-12 But people who long to be rich soon begin to do all kinds of wrong things to get money, things that hurt them and make them evil-minded and finally send them to hell itself. For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows. O Timothy, you are God's man. Run from all these evil things, and work instead at what is right and good, learning to trust him and love others and to be patient and gentle. Fight on for God. Hold tightly to the eternal life that God has given you and that you have confessed with such a ringing confession before many witnesses. Hebrews 13:5-6 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Why Can't We Serve Two Masters? Your true master is the one you love. God cannot coexist with a second master as He is the One and Only. If we have established another master in our life, such as ourselves, money, selfish ambition, etc., then it means we will end up hating God. THE NEWS & COMMENT: Michael Burry saw the mortgage business for what The Party made of it: a scam set to fall. Now, he has compared it to the Covid response. Michael Burry of ‘Big Short' Fame Says ‘Silliness' in Markets Is Back; The investor who bet against the housing market ahead of the financial crisis has been predicting another crash for months. The Figurehead pretends he is “forgiving loans” but he is actually--once again--forcing you to bail out Wall Street. Studies Show Biden's Illegal Student Debt Scheme Is Welfare For The Rich We cannot be shocked by this. D.C. is a godless CIty of greed. Just look at Mitch McConnell and his corrupt wife: Trump Is Right. Mitch McConnell And Elaine Chao Spent Decades Getting ‘Rich On China' Foremost [a company owned by Elaine Chao's Father] is technically based out of New York but largely operates out of China, where at least 70 percent of its freight, mostly industrial, is delivered. Not only are a majority of Foremost's ships built in state-owned shipyards, but some are even financed by the Chinese Communist Party. They are then used to deliver cargo outlined in contracts with the communist government, which has clearly stated goals to rapidly expand its industries to compete with the U.S. Foremost and the Chao family have benefitted from loans estimated to be between $350,000 and $1 million from the U.S. government and loans from Chinese banks known by the Trump administration as threats. Again, this is a company owned by the father-in-law of America's top congressional Republican and the father of the former transportation secretary. Not only do Chao's father and sister Angela Chao still share leadership over Foremost, but the pair also once sat on the board of an offshoot of the CSSP together. This trend of the Chao family expanding their influence in China only continued as McConnell and his wife burrowed deeper into the American political system. When Trump named Chao head of the Department of Transportation in January of 2017, her family publicly rejoiced — likely at the opportunity to further their business interests. That same month, Chao's sister Angela was named independent non-executive director of the CCP-affiliated Bank of China. McConnell still expresses some support for curbing China's ascent, but whether his concern is sincere or political is difficult to say. Not only do McConnell and Chao's family members financially benefit from doing business with communist China, but so have McConnell and Chao. The political duo may not have a formal stake in the Chao shipping empire, but they have certainly amassed wealth from the business. The biggest evidence for this came in 2008. Just one year after James Chao joined CSSC Holdings, in addition to running Foremost, McConnell received a “gift” of $5 to $25 million from his father-in-law. As Politico reported, that payment significantly bumped McConnell's net worth, which was measured at around $3.1 million in 2004, to between $9.2 million and $36.5 million in 2014. Several members of Chao's family, including Angela and James, also contributed more than $1 million to McConnell's re-election campaigns. In other words, the founder of an unofficial arm of our top adversary's navy is helping keep McConnell in U.S. leadership. According to Schweizer, these kinds of payments could have been money designed to keep a favorable relationship between McConnell and the Chao family. I lost a dear friend to suicide. Before he died, he shared with me his recollection of what a banskter did to his firm and his career. It's my opinion it ultimately lead my friend to take his life. Jamie Dimon's $13 Billion Secret; The inside story of JPMorgan Chase's landmark mortgage settlement THE LISTENERS: Todd, I love your show! I used to listen to you on EIB. Your comparison of what has happened with the plandemic and the Big Short was great and made me want to watch the movie. However, when I researched it and found out that it has 74 uses of the F-word, I just can't do it. That's like one every 30 seconds! For me that's a non-starter. I don't know how you can put up with that. Maybe your description of yourself raising your hand in the “VIP” meeting inspired me to speak up, but I would just say that you should give some kind of a warning when mentioning a movie like that (maybe you did?). I know it's hard to find one without something bad in it, but 74?! Why do they have to ruin so many potentially good movies?

After 21 days, CNN+ shuts down. Clay and Buck "dance on its grave" and compare it to other short tenures, like Anthony Scaramucci's stint as Trump White House Communications Director. Clay says, "This is maybe the biggest media failure of all time." CNN+ is just like setting $300 million on fire! Bottom line: No one wanted to see more Jemele Hill, Rex Chapman, Brian Stelter and Don Lemon. CNN gave up the decades that they had branded themselves as "trusted news" to turn into an anti-Trump network, Trump broke them. Buck suggests Clay make an offer to buy CNN+ and fold it into OutKick, for which he has a storied media business history. Callers weigh in on the colossal failure of CNN+. EIB 24/7 VIP gives an update on NCIS: Los Angeles actor Chris O'Donnell, who long ago turned down the part Leonardo DiCaprio played in blockbuster Titanic.
