European companies have a long history of working together with the advanced economies in Latin America and the Caribbean. Europe’s Global Gateway initiative builds on the close ties between the two regions. It seeks to create a partnership where the public sector of Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean (like development banks and national export credit agencies) link up with the private sector, to generate business investments that can contribute to wealthier societies to the benefit of all. Global Gateway promotes the European values of good governance, transparency and sustainability to improve the lives of many.
The EU-LAC Global Gateway Investment Agenda (GGIA) is the roadmap of strategic priorities that the EU has chosen to invest in with its Latin American and Caribbean partners.
Global Gateway has an ambitious agenda including activities ranging from 5G extension to remote areas, green bonds, greener transport systems, clean hydrogen energy and better health infrastructures to scaling up joint research. It should result in smarter, cleaner and more secure links between the two regions.
