The EU is driving the Global Gateway to strengthen connectivity with Africa, mobilizing significant capital. The project aims to reduce strategic dependencies through infrastructure investments, exceeding initial financial expectations with a revised target of €400 billion by 2027. A convergence of benefits is confirmed in the EU-UA partnership, particularly in energy, digitalization, and infrastructure. The Lobito Corridor in Angola is a key project to connect regions rich in strategic mineral resources, contributing to the digital and green transition and addressing logistical challenges.
