Team Europe actively present at the Invest in Senegal Forum

The EU, through its Global Gateway strategy, promotes inclusive, green, and digital economic growth, as well as the strengthening of Senegal's food and pharmaceutical sovereignty. Global Gateway creates sustainable and smart ties between Senegal and other countries in the region, and between Senegal and the EU, thus fostering African integration and cooperation between Africa and Europe. The focus is on strengthening investment while promoting institutional reforms through constructive dialogue to facilitate institutional reforms, making Senegal more attractive to private investment.
