Conference on the Mediterranean Solar Plan
Valencia will host the high-level conference on the Mediterranean Solar Plan within the framework of the Spanish Presidency of the European Union, presided over by the Spanish Minister of Industry, Tourism and Trade. This event will gather together ministers and representatives of the 43 countries that make up the Union for the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean Solar Plan, born under the scope of the "Barcelona Process: Union for the Mediterranean (UfM)", and launched in July 2008, is one of the strategic processes for sustainable development facing the foreseeable increase of energy demand in the Euro-Mediterranean region, and the need to cut back greenhouse effect gas emissions.

The Invest in Med programme aims at developing sustainable trade relationships, investments and enterprise partnerships between the two rims of the Mediterranean. Funded at 75% by the European Union over the 2008-2011 period, it is implemented by the MedAlliance consortium, which associates economic development organisations (ANIMA, leader of the programme), CCIs (ASCAME, EUROCHAMBRES), and business federations (BUSINESSMED). The members of these networks, as well as their special partners (UNIDO, GTZ, EPA Euroméditerranée, World Bank, etc.), gather a thousand of economic actors - mobilised through pilot initiatives centered on key Mediterranean promising niches. Each year, a hundred operations associate the 27 countries of the European Union and 9 Mediterranean partner countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia.
