Through Global Gateway, the EU and partners will mobilise up to €300 billion of investments until 2027 for sustainable and high-quality projects to ensuring lasting benefits for local communities. Given the seismic changes in aid funding, what might this mean for international development? We will look to discuss this and more during our panel on 'New partnerships for development: The EU's Global Gateway initiative'.

The event aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the EU's Global Gateway initiative, highlighting its role in promoting sustainable and inclusive global development. The discussion will focus on the strategic importance of the initiative, its impact on beneficiary countries, and the pivotal role of private finance in driving infrastructure investments.
