Two thousand business people from the Mediterranean region are expected to take part in the Mediterranean Week of Economic Leaders (MedaWeek), which will be held in Barcelona on 22-24 November 2017, after the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the Association of the Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME) signed a partnership agreement to consolidate the UfM’s position as strategic institutional partner the event.

ASCAME and the UfM, both headquartered in Barcelona, have undertaken important initiatives and projects in the last few years to contribute to the region’s economic development and integration, the promotion of public-private initiatives by the private sector to facilitate the flow of investments, and the increase of the Euro-Mediterranean region’s appeal in attracting investment in general.

Ten years following its launch as the annual platform for the Mediterranean economy, MedaWeek will this year address challenges such as the restructuring of traditional industries and the diversification of economic activity, the attraction of major foreign investment and the intensification of cooperation between all the region’s countries.
