Raw materials and clean energy are indispensable for the twin transition. We have the appetite for mutually beneficial cooperation.
🇳🇦 can help solve global challenges. And it will benefit too: we promote local jobs and growth, which will tackle inequalities.

The partnerships covers entire value chains and ecosystems around them. This means value addition in 🇳🇦, boosting skills, regulatory frameworks and infrastructure.
#GlobalGateway is a holistic offer. #TeamEurope has the knowhow to facilitate transformational change.

It was very useful to continue the discussion on raw materials and renewable hydrogen with 🇳🇦 Minister of Mines and Energy @TomAlweendo afterwards. Skills, regulatory environment and infrastructure are important factors.
We are committed to get the ball rolling fast!

We will use 🇪🇺 tools, such as EFSD+ guarantees, to attract the private sector and their investments.
We are already seeing steps being taken by European companies and financial institutions. @EIBGlobal has indicated intent to make available loan financing up to €500 million.
