The second edition of the Global Gateway Forum will take place on 9-10 October 2025 in Brussels. Building on the success of the inaugural Forum in 2023, which highlighted the European Union’s external investment initiatives, this year’s event will focus on advancing global connectivity in the face of geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges.
See the background paper Partnerships in a Geopolitical Era: Time for a New Strategic Conversation prepared by our partners Brussels Institute for Geopolitics, Clingendael Institute and Egmont Institute.
The Forum will bring together high-level representatives from governments, financial institutions, the private sector, and civil society to explore innovative strategies for scaling up Global Gateway investments in partner countries.
The onsite attendance is by invitation only, but all plenary and thematic sessions will be streamed live here.
