The European Commission launched today a call for applications to enrol up to 60 members for the Global Gateway Business Advisory Group. The group will gather CEOs or senior executives of European companies and business associations for exchanges with the President of the Commission and relevant members of the College on the roll-out of Global Gateway. It will assist the European Commission in strengthening cooperation with the European private sector in a structured way as part of the Global Gateway strategy and its implementation. The call for applications is open until 20 April 2023.
European Commission President von der Leyen said:
“Thanks to Global Gateway, the EU is investing in smart, clean and sustainable connections across the globe to boost trade, strengthen value chains and expand economic opportunities, for the EU and our partners. We need both public and private investments to deliver faster on the green and digital transitions and the global recovery. The Global Gateway Business Advisory Group will help to work closer together to fully take advantage of their expertise and deliver transformative impact for our partners.”
The group will consist of EU private sector organisations with relevant experience in sectors covered by Global Gateway and an interest in engaging in Global Gateway projects. The call for applications, the terms of reference and other information can be found here.
