For its twelfth edition at Tour & Taxis on 5-6 June in Brussels, EDD 2018 will aim at bringing together the European Union’s commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment which are at the core of European values.

During the event The SwitchMed Programme, together with Switch Asia, Switch Africa and Switch to Green, will share stories of women green entrepreneurs from the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa who have been agents of change driving the green economy transition and creating jobs.

The SwitchMed programme aims to promote a switch by the Mediterranean economies towards sustainable consumption and production patterns and green economy, including low-emission development, through demonstration and dissemination of methods that improve resource and energy efficiency.
