What Tanks Think: Global Gateway: Advancing EU-India Priorities In The Indo-Pacific by

Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung’s latest brief, Global Gateway: Advancing EU-India Priorities in the Indo-Pacific, explores how the EU’s flagship connectivity initiative can evolve into a strategic platform for EU-India cooperation in a region increasingly shaped by geopolitical rivalry.
What the report notes—and what India’s World underscores—is that Global Gateway’s values-driven model aligns well with India’s own initiatives like Act East, MAHASAGAR, and Neighbourhood First. Both sides aim to promote transparent, rules-based infrastructure development—an alternative to China’s BRI.
While EU-India mechanisms like the Connectivity Partnership and TTC offer frameworks for coordination, bottlenecks remain. Fragmentation within the EU and India’s delivery constraints risk undermining project execution.
Yet, joint project prioritisation, blended finance, and digital and green infrastructure present real opportunities to elevate the partnership.
