The “Mediterranean Economic and Financial Forum”
The "Mediterranean Economic and Financial Forum" is an important initiative promoted and organised by the Milan Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Lombardy Region, as established by the Final Declaration of the Summit of Foreign Ministers of the Member States of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) held in Marseilles on the 3-4 November 2008. Following the success of the first edition of the Forum held in Milan on the 20-21 July 2009, thanks to the pragmatic approach and to the support of national and international, private and public entities, the Milan Forum represents an important occasion for dialogue and discussion in an informal framework and an opportunity to undertake more decisive steps towards promoting socio-economic and financial integration in the Euro-Mediterranean Region.

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.
