This is just a term that appears in a crest.

Unfortunately I have no more context at all.

Building bridges to the world

Literally "May a bridge ("pons") be given (detur = exhortative subjunctive of "dare" to give) to the world (mundo = dative of "mundus).
The rendering I noted is the official translation found on the net, which is quite proper.
