Global Gateway is the European Union’s investment plan for global progress, a partnership model that brings smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport, and strengthens health, education and research systems around the world.
Together, we have already mobilised more than €306 billion in investments, turning ambition into real, lasting impact.
Through a 'Team Europe approach', we bring together the EU, its Member States and their financial and development institutions, working with the private sector to leverage investment where it can transform lives, while also supporting the EU’s geopolitical and geoeconomic interests, values and strategic positioning.
We believe progress is stronger when it's shared. That's why Global Gateway is fully aligned with the UN's Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the Paris Agreement.

Areas of partnership
We invest where it can make the biggest difference: in the infrastructure that shapes people's lives and responds to today's challenges. Our strategy is built on 5 policy pillars:
Through Global Gateway, the EU is strengthening connections between Europe and the world and helping partner countries address the digital divide and further integrate into the global digital ecosystem.
Global Gateway invests in climate mitigation and resilience, as well as clean energy - a necessity but also a major economic opportunity in low and middle-income countries.
Global Gateway is promoting worldwide infrastructure investments that create sustainable, smart, resilient, inclusive and safe networks in all modes of transport.
Global Gateway is strengthening healthcare capacities around the world, helping us to overcome diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, yellow fever, tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS.
Global Gateway is investing in quality education, paying attention to the inclusion of vulnerable groups, and is working with partner countries to strengthen cooperation on research and innovation.
