Request PensionsEurope – Expression of interest Global Gateway initiative
Dear PensioPlus members,
Please see herewith a request stemming from PensionsEurope. In case of interest, please contact info@pensioplus.be by 19 June at the latest.
“We have been approached by the European Commission (DG INTPA), which is currently undertaking a mapping exercise of EU private capital investors to support investment mobilisation for Global Gateway projects under the Global Gateway Investment Hub: https://international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/investment-hub_en
The initiative seeks to identify investor appetite, conditions for engagement and possible partnership approaches for investments in transformative infrastructure projects across a range of sectors, including energy, water, transport and digital infrastructure. The projects cover various regions, including Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Mobilising private sector investment is considered a strategic priority for the implementation of the Global Gateway initiative.
As part of this exercise, PensionsEurope has been identified as a key stakeholder. DG INTPA would like to conduct a short interview (approximately 30 minutes) with interested organisations to better understand the perspectives of institutional investors, including pension funds and pension providers.
To help us assess the level of interest among our membership and coordinate any possible engagement, we would appreciate hearing from members who would be willing to participate in such an interview and/or share their views on the following questions:
Are you/your members currently investing, or considering investing, in infrastructure or private capital projects linked to emerging and developing markets?Would Global Gateway projects potentially fit within your/your members’ investment strategy?What factors would encourage or discourage participation in such investments?What role, if any, could the EU institutions play in facilitating pension fund investment in these projects?If you or your members would be interested in engaging directly with DG INTPA, please let us know by 19 June 2026. We would also welcome any written comments you may wish to share.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.”
