While boasting an impressive budget of €300 billions, the Global Gateway is also, and foremost, a geopolitical strategy. The case of Taiwan offers a unique perspective to assess the various implications of Europe’s approach to connectivity in East Asia. This will be the focus of a discussion with distinguished representatives of different EU institutions and from Taiwan’s government and private sector.ProgramIntroduction Karoline Postel Vinay, CERI and Christian Lequesne, CERIGlobal Gateway: An EU Reply to the Indo Pacific ChallengesChair : Karoline Postel-Vinay, CERIMs. Romana Vlahutin, EU Ambassador at Large for Connectivity Mr. Reinhard Bütikofer, Member of the European Parliament Dr. Harry Ho-Jen Tseng, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, TaiwanGlobal Gateway : New Business OpportunitiesChair : Christian Lequesne, CERIMr. Thibaut Kleiner, Director of DG CONNECT, European CommissionDr. Wen-Jing Huang, Assistant Vice-President of CECI EngineeringQ/A with the speakersChair: Earl Wang, CERI
