10/12/25 (Agence Europe) – On Wednesday 10 December, the Council of the European Union approved a list of 256 flagship development projects for 2026. Unlike previous years, the 2026 list does not include any new projects. The list “consolidates, focuses and streamlines the existing portfolio of flagships projects to better showcase the impact of the Global Gateway, and to facilitate a more effective monitoring of its progress”, explained the Council of the EU in a press release on Wednesday. These flagship projects represent the most important examples of the achievements of the EU’s Global Gateway overseas investment package in the fields of digital, climate and energy, transport, health, education and research.
