Over the past two years, with the support of Stiftung Mercator, we have examined how Europe and Africa can build stronger, more equitable digital partnerships within a shifting global order.

The initiative has culminated in a comprehensive body of evidence-based analysis, now available on our project page: - 5 Policy Briefs analysing AI in elections, digital disinformation, cyber cooperation, and the strategic alignment of the Global Gateway and the Mattei Plan. - 4 High-Level Events held in Accra, Marrakech, and Istanbul, facilitating both public panels and closed-door expert roundtables. - 22 Dedicated Newsletters distributing project insights We invite you to explore all the project’s outputs: https://bit.ly/4au3epA
