Map – The Global Middle

Map

The Global Middle is not abstract. It exists in real places, across real seas, through real cities, and along real supply chains. These corridors show where Africa and Europe can build energy, industry, and stability together.

North Africa – Europe Green Manufacturing Belt

Spanning Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt into Spain, Italy, and Greece, this corridor links some of the world’s best solar and wind resources to Europe’s industrial heartlands. It enables green hydrogen, battery components, fertilizers, and clean steel to be produced where energy is cheapest and exported where demand is highest.

For Africa, it means factories, skilled jobs, and industrial growth. For Europe, it means affordable clean energy and secure supply chains.

West Africa – Atlantic Energy and Food Corridor

Connecting Senegal, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire to France, Portugal, and the Netherlands, this corridor focuses on power generation, regional grids, cold chains, and agro processing. It stabilizes food systems while creating reliable energy and trade links across the Atlantic.

For West Africa, it reduces volatility and creates value from agriculture. For Europe, it secures food and energy supplies in a changing climate.

Horn of Africa – Red Sea Digital and Port Arc

Linking Addis Ababa, Djibouti, and Nairobi to Greece, Cyprus, and Italy, this arc transforms one of the world’s most fragile regions into a connected hub of ports, fiber, data, and logistics. Trade, technology, and skills become engines of peace.

For Africa, it means connectivity, jobs, and stability. For Europe, it secures one of its most critical maritime and digital gateways.

From corridors to a shared future

These corridors are not dreams. They are grounded in geography, demographics, and economics. They show how a fragmented world can be anchored by cooperation between two continents that need each other.
