Mauritania highlighted at the Global Gateway Forum
The second edition of the Global Gateway Forum takes place on 9–10 October 2025 in Brussels.
Building on the success of the first Forum in 2023 — which highlighted the European Union’s external investment initiatives and in which Mauritania participated by signing the Joint Initiative on Green Hydrogen — the 2025 event focuses on accelerating and strengthening global connectivity in response to current geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges. In this 2025 edition, Mauritania showcases key flagship projects, including:
- the Nouakchott–Néma high-voltage power line, enabling greater energy integration across the country;
- the Nouakchott Data Hosting Center, positioning Mauritania as an emerging player in West Africa’s digital transformation; and
- the second submarine internet cable, ensuring faster, more reliable, and resilient international connectivity.
The Forum brings 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. 🎥 A video dedicated to Mauritania is featured in the Forum’s exhibition spaces.
