INVESTMED project partner, the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association, held the final Access to Finance workshop, inviting entrepreneurs in the green, blue, and cultural and creative industries to connect with investors from Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia. This was the final session in a series of 4 workshops with finance suppliers and experts to support the INVESTMED entrepreneurs with access to sustainable finance beyond the activities of the INVESTMED project.
The workshop ended with a question-and-answer session from the participants who were encouraged to present their own business and the barriers they face in order to gain expert insight from the speakers. This event served as excellent preparation for the INVESTMED subgrantees as they attend the final regional event in Tunisia at the end of November as they pitch to real investors.
