Information on the roll out of the Global Gateway strategy, partnerships, projects and funding opportunities

Global Gateway is the European strategy to boost smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport sectors, and to strengthen health, education and research systems across the world.

Global Gateway is fully aligned with the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the Paris Agreement.

Global Gateway aims to mobilise up to €300 billion in investments.

Through a 'Team Europe approach', Global Gateway will bring together the EU, its Member States and their financial and development institutions to mobilise the private sector to leverage investments for a transformational impact.

We implement Global Gateway through projects in Latin America and the Caribbean; the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific; and Sub-Saharan Africa. In the Western Balkans and the EU Neighbourhood Global Gateway is implemented through projects included in Economic and Investment Plans.

Projects identified as flagships are prominent examples of the progress and deliverables of Global Gateway.

A comprehensive structure is being established that will ensure a fully inclusive approach to the governance of the Global Gateway strategy.
