IDOM is working to enhance connectivity between the European Union and Japan
On Tuesday December 6, the consortium led by IDOM assisted the EU Delegation to Japan in the organization of a seminar to promote the EU-Japan Partnership on Sustainable Connectivity and Quality Infrastructure, through specific initiatives and projects.
Under the title “From policy to action”, this was the first time that all major actors from both sides (European Commission, EIB, EBRD, Member States, Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, JICA, JBIC, etc.) met to discuss how to cooperate on tangible investment projects in the energy, digital and transport sectors in third countries, while respecting maximum economic efficiency, as well as fiscal, environmental, social and transparency rules.
The seminar, which aimed to pave the way for further progress in promoting reliable, secure, sustainable, comprehensive and comprehensive connectivity projects based on international standards, represents a core follow-up action in the wake of the EU-Japan Summit in May 2022. It saw participants identify a significant number of both existing and potential projects for EU-Japan cooperation in key geo-regions: Indo-Pacific, Africa, the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which will be further explored in the coming months.
