Rudina is indirectly managed by the INVL fund ‘INVL Defence Infrastructure Fund I’, together with the construction companies Conres and Fegda. “This project is a clear example of how the European Union can strengthen its role in security and defence by supporting critical infrastructure,” said EIB Vice-President Karl Nehammer. “The EIB is proud to contribute to the development of Rūdninkai Military Town, which will enhance the permanent presence of allied forces and reinforce security on the EU’s eastern flank. Together with our partners, we are mobilising public and private financing for projects that are essential for Europe’s resilience and stability.” “A strong economy cannot exist without security, and security today requires sustained long-term investments. As the largest financier in the region, Swedbank actively contributes to projects that strengthen Lithuania’s resilience and lay the foundation for sustainable economic growth. Financing of EUR 100.37 million provided by Swedbank to the Rūdninkai campus will help implement a project of strategic importance that strengthens the country’s defense capabilities. In the long term, security fosters an environment in which investments, businesses, and public confidence can thrive” says Inga Skisaker, Head of Swedbank in Lithuania. To secure the financing, the consortium's construction partners Conres and Fegda successfully completed a required international due diligence screening which affirmed their experience, technological capacity, and legal readiness to implement the project. Full financing secured With the loans from the EIB and Swedbank now secured, Rudina's agreement with the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence has entered into full force. The agreement entering into full force enables next steps: INVL is beginning to call for investor capital to the fund, and full-scale construction works by Conres and Fegda are commencing at the project site, where they have been carrying out preparatory works since January. “This project is an example of how public sector needs, private capital, and international financial institutions are coming together for a higher purpose – the security of the state and the region. The completion of the financing stage today allows us to move on to the next important step: the timely and high-quality development of the infrastructure needed for the permanent presence of the German brigade in Lithuania,” says Andrius Načajus, CEO of INVL Asset Management. At the Rūdninkai military campus, infrastructure is being developed for the German brigade, marking the largest military infrastructure project in independent Lithuania's history. Part A of the project's phase II covers construction work in a 52-hectare area, where 27 buildings adapted for the army's needs will be built, with a total area of almost 94,000 square meters. The territory is planned to feature a parade ground, squares for vehicles and military equipment, a helicopter zone, and other structures.
