Equity funding in the EU: new report sheds light on shortcomings in the 
EU finance landscape
DG R&I published today the results of an independent expert report 
identifying the investment gaps existing in the EU and reasons behind 
these. The findings constitute an essential contribution to understand 
the relationship of EU support with the European venture capitalist (VC) 
ecosystem and explores ways on how to ensure appropriate access to 
financing for innovative, high growth European SMEs as well as further 
development of the VC eco-system across Europe.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, 
Education and Youth said:

I welcome this report on the venture capital landscape in Europe and its 
recommendations. In the post coronavirus recovery phase ensuring access 
to financing for highly innovative SMEs and startups will be an 
important element of a true European Innovation Area to enable our 
transition to the green and digital economies/./

Minimising the impact of a common - but potentially detrimental - 
clinical practice

Intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis (IAP), is a standard procedure 
used while delivering babies. According to EU-funded researchers, it may 
have important implications for infant health, increasing risks of 
obesity, diabetes, and antibiotics resistance. This finding opens the 
door to the development of new dietary strategies for minimising the 
effect of this very common medical procedure.

To confront climate change, we need to understand the environmental 
footprint of global supply chains

In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic upended international trade. Countries 
shut their borders, breaking the webs of supply chains that crisscross 
the globe. These systems of people, organisations and companies work to 
supply consumers with products, such as mobile phones, or services, like 
transportation.
