Analyst - Global Gateway Corridors

Invest International’s legal mandate is to support companies with foreign activities and international projects that contribute to the Dutch economy by improving competitiveness and earning capacity and to support projects that offer solutions to global challenges.

We believe in a world where businesses and governments work together to solve global challenges. Our mission is to connect Dutch solutions to global challenges strengthening worldwide resilience and safeguarding Dutch earning capacity.

Invest International opened its doors in October 2021, in The Hague. We are a state-owned company set up by the Dutch government. A private company funded with public capital. Our people, network and knowledge allow us to maximize impact for our stakeholders.

The EU’s Global Gateway initiative aims to mobilize over €300 billion by 2027 for sustainable infrastructure across key sectors like digital, energy, health, and transport. It marks a shift from fragmented aid to an integrated model combining development finance, export support, and private sector engagement - aligning with the EU’s green, digital, and geopolitical priorities.

As competition from state-backed actors like China and Japan intensifies, the EU seeks to strengthen coordination between its development and export finance institutions (DFIs and ECAs) to offer a unified alternative. Invest International plays a unique hybrid role in this framework, being the only Dutch and EU partner that integrates financing, project development, and private-sector collaboration, reflecting the Netherlands’ longstanding approach of linking trade and development.

For the Netherlands and Invest International, Global Gateway is seen as a futureproof agenda of geopolitical importance with objectives for trade, development and attracting EU funding. It is an opportunity to finance projects for Dutch business or Dutch strategic interest, connected to private sector development in emerging markets but also look for more strategic partnerships with other European partners to create a stronger value proposition for the EU.

For the Netherlands and Invest International, the EU’s Global Gateway represents a strategic opportunity to combine trade, development, and access to EU funding. As an Implementing Partner appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Invest International is positioned to lead EU-backed infrastructure and development projects that advance both Dutch economic interests and sustainable growth in emerging markets.

The Global Gateway Development Team

The Global Gateway Development Team (GGDT) will equip Invest International with the capacity to originate, structure, and finance complex infrastructure and other strategic projects, particularly those aligned with the EU Global Gateway initiative and Dutch international economic priorities. The Team will initially be incubated within the Business Strategy and Innovation Unit to develop GG related infrastructure investment pipeline for IIPP and IICC and leverage EU and other funding sources.

The GGDT will operate with a core team of 10 FTEs over time, supported by additional expertise as required. The Team will utilise Invest International's existing IT, legal, compliance, risk, and finance processes and systems.

The GGDT will require a carefully structured human resource plan to support its growth trajectory from establishment through maturity.
