Global Gateway is Europe’s offer for connecting the world with investments and partnerships.
It provides partners with a high-quality, comprehensive offer in line with the European model of sustainable and transparent investment, for mutually beneficial partnerships on key policies and initiatives.
Given the intensifying geopolitical competition in Asia Pacific, the EU is stepping up its strategic engagement with this vital region. The region’s growing economic, demographic and political weight makes it a key partner in shaping the rules-based international order and in addressing global challenges.
With an enhanced strategic framework building on Global Gateway, the EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific (2021) and the EU Strategy on Central Asia (2019), the EU aims to contribute to the region’s connectivity, stability and prosperity through the twin digital and green transition and sustainable development/Sustainable Development Goals.
Global Gateway, with the support of development banks and the private sector, aims to provide capital for investment into hard and soft infrastructure, contributing to reducing the Asia Pacific region’s infrastructure gaps. To close the investment gap and have a truly transformational impact, we are increasingly bringing in the private sector, both from Europe and from partner regions and countries.
See how we are creating smart, clean, and secure links in digital, energy and transport sectors and to strengthen resilience of countries in climate change adaptation and mitigation, health, education, and research systems in the Asia Pacific region.
