After two successful awards, the Euro-Mediterranean Regional and Local Assembly (ARLEM) is launching its third award for Young local entrepreneurship in the South Mediterranean partner countries. With this award, ARLEM focuses on stimulating local business, supporting young entrepreneurs and encouraging collaboration between local public authorities and the private sector.
