The Global Gateway Strategy is the European Union’s flagship framework for investment in infrastructure and connectivity. It aims to catalyze private sector competitiveness while upholding rigorous environmental and labor standards, strengthening human capital, reinforcing knowledge systems, and protecting global commons. Education, research, and innovation (ER&I) are not merely peripheral components; they are central pillars that drive sustainable, inclusive, and values-based global partnerships.
This position paper explores how the ER&I sphere—with a specific focus on the agrifood sector—contributes to the Global Gateway. It reflects the perspectives of Agrinatura, the European Alliance on Agricultural Knowledge for Development.
