Ex. This north/south cooperation is a five-year-old initiative that is now gathering strength = Esta cooperación norte-sur es una iniciativa que cumple cinco años y que ahora está ganando fuerza.

Ex. The groundswell of movement towards integrating previously unrelated technologies and markets is now gathering a reasonable head of steam.

Ex. The author looks at the likely future shifts in economic structures in advanced economies, as the information age replaces the industrial era, and regionalism gathers pace.
