Business opportunities in the water sector in the Mediterranean region
The development of water technology, innovations and services is today a priority in the euromed region and will increase in importance as water scarcity becomes more pressing. In order to reinforce the cooperation between Catalonia, Italy, Israel, Egypt and Morocco in this sector, a conference as well as has been organised in Barcelona on March 25, 2009 as part of the Med Water initiative. In this context, high level experts from the targeted countries have been invited to present to some 50 companies the business opportunities in their countries.

The Med Water Launch Workshop (Previsional) |
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.
