Projects

To promote the connectivity that will bring sustainable and inclusive growth to partner countries, a number of tangible cooperation offers are needed. The agreement covers four fields: transport, energy, digitalisation and people-to-people interaction. Both hard and soft projects are now being considered, or are being implemented.

Both the EU and Japan have the capacity to implement new technological and financial solutions. By combining their forces they want to further strengthen their contribution to promote quality infrastructure development. Environmentally friendly solutions for energy and digitalisation with a high level of protection of personal data are key to sustainable development.

Concrete action to find sustainable connectivity projects has been initiated by three mutual workshops: the first covering the Indo-Pacific area, the second covering Africa, and finally, in March 2024, a third workshop covering Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
