another. Global Gateway is Europe’s strategy

smart, sustainable investments in quality
infrastructure, in line with the EU’s values andstandards. We will promote equal partnerships,and forge new alliances, without creating
dependencies.

Global Gateway is Europe’s offer for connecting the world with investments andpartnerships. Countries need investment to create jobs, skills and better living conditions forpeople. And to tackle the biggest global challenges - climate change, global health security,
sustainable development, stronger supply chains.
Europe will provide a positive choice for countries who need that investment. A choicethat comes with a trusted brand and builds links between partners – rather than creating
dependencies.
