👏 Towns and regions are best placed to ensure the local impact of strategic investments, in #EU and in partner countries.

Let's build an inclusive governance within the #GlobalGateway Investment Hub, with the effective involvement of #LocalGov! 🤝

Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · 1d

Our initial goal was to mobilise €300 billion in 5 years.

We have already hit the target.

And I am confident we will surpass €400 billion by 2027.

With Global Gateway, the benefits are not only mutual – they’re also local.
