SUMMARY:The Mattei Plan and Global Gateway: Italy and the EU’s investment in cooperation with Africa – 3rd Edition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Following the establishment of close cooperation between the Mattei Plan and the European Union’s Global Gateway\, formalised by the Italian government and the European Commission at the summit with the African Union on 20 June 2025 in Rome\, what is the overall assessment regarding cooperation between Europe and Africa? How has the private sector responded to the push by public institutions to strengthen it? \nThe 2026 edition of “Connact Piano Mattei – New Energies between Europe and Africa” will provide an opportunity to meet and discuss the progress and future developments of the policies promoted by Italy and the EU to strengthen cooperation between the two continents. \nThe institutional speeches that will open the event will focus on this topic. This will be followed by a networking dinner\, at which the organisations and companies sponsoring Connact will meet diplomatic representatives from African countries and Italian institutions. The aim is to foster dialogue in order to identify new areas for investment and create opportunities for developing economic and social relations on energy\, defence\, security\, technological development and climate change mitigation. \nLIST OF INVITED EMBASSIES:\nAlgeria\, Angola\, Benin\, Burkina Faso\, Burundi\, Cameroon\, Cape Verde\, Democratic Republic of the Congo\, Ivory Coast\, Egypt\, Eritrea\, Ethiopia\, Gabon\, Ghana\, Guinea\, Equatorial Guinea\, Kenya\, Lesotho\, Liberia\, Libya\, Madagascar\, Mali\, Morocco\, Mauritania\, Mozambique\, Niger\, Nigeria\, Republic of the Congo\, Senegal\, Somalia\, South Africa\, South Sudan\, Sudan\, Tanzania\, Tunisia\, Uganda\, Zambia\, Zimbabwe[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Sarà fondamentale partire con il piede giusto e non fare passi falsi. \n \nL’appuntamento “estivo” di Connact sarà un contributo alla riflessione\, in cui i rappresentanti delle istituzioni europee si confronteranno con gli operatori economici per un approfondimento sui principali dossier in discussione e sul loro impatto sul sistema Italia e in particolare sui settori economici maggiormente interessati. \n \nI temi delle politiche per la salute e quello della sicurezza alimentare saranno al centro di due tavoli di lavoro\, per discuterne le implicazioni sull’industria farmaceutica da un lato e sui comparti agricolo e alimentare dall’altro. Un terzo tavolo sarà dedicato alle politiche per il settore digitale\, che si focalizzerà tanto sugli interventi infrastrutturali quanto sul quadro regolatorio necessari a garantire autonomia e sicurezza all’Ue anche in questo campo. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The geopolitical upheavals of recent months have made it an even more pressing necessity. The autumn session of the Connact workshops aims to contribute to the discussion on current initiatives at the European level and on those to be undertaken in the fields of finance\, the circular economy\, and transport. By bringing together policymakers and stakeholders\, we will examine in detail the measures under discussion at the European level and their implications for the Italian system.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
