Paraguay made a significant leap forward in establishing a sustainable development model by unveiling a portfolio of over 120 projects, representing investments surpassing US$9 billion, at the European Union–Paraguay 2025 Investment Forum.
Strategic sectors and sustainable investment opportunities
The portfolio is aligned with Paraguay’s Master Plan for Sustainable Investments. This prioritises projects in renewable energy, resilient infrastructure, electric mobility, green logistics, and basic social services such as water, sanitation, and housing. The government aims to attract European capital along with technology transfer, innovation, and sustainable job creation.
The event was held at the Instituto del Banco Central del Paraguay in Asunción, and attended by more than 400 stakeholders, comprising national authorities, European representatives, multilateral agencies, and private sector actors.
The activity was co-organised by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC), Rediex, the Delegation of the European Union in Paraguay, with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). It forms part of the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy to mobilise investment in green, digital, and inclusive infrastructure in Latin America.
Throughout the two-day forum, authorities and experts highlighted Paraguay’s advantageous geographical location, renewable energy potential, and investor-friendly environment. Members of the forum also discussed how to improve cooperation between the public and private sectors towards the implementation of high-impact, sustainable projects.
Recognition and long-term vision
The Delegation of the European Union in Paraguay underlined that the forum represented a concrete step within the Paraguay–EU partnership, following shared priorities in clean energy, connectivity, and social inclusion. The event was an opportunity to reinforce bilateral relations and create investment opportunities for the benefit of long-term economic and environmental goals.
In recognition of its importance, the Secretariat of Tourism of Paraguay (SENATUR) declared the activity to be of National Tourist Interest by Resolution, highlighting its potential to put Paraguay on the map as a viable destination for sustainable investment.
There were thematic panels, technical presentations, business matchmaking, and areas for networking as part of the forum. The forum reaffirmed Paraguay’s commitment to sustainability and its openness to forging international partnerships for green, inclusive development.
Building on the momentum of sustainable investment initiatives, Paraguay will also host the ADECS 2025 Congress. This is an important event focused on driving sustainable innovation across Latin America. The congress aims to gather key industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to explore new opportunities for sustainable economic growth and technological advancement in the region.
These events complements Paraguay’s broader vision of positioning itself as a regional hub for sustainable investment and green development.
