This paper was submitted and accepted for presentation at the FEMISE 2023 Annual Conference, “Shifting Paradigms: Opportunities for a Deeper EU-Mediterranean Integration in a Changing World,” Barcelona, Spain, 27-29 September 2023 under the theme: A better integrated Euro-Mediterranean region.

 

This policy paper casts a spotlight on the struggling ecosystems that stymie entrepreneurial efforts within the green transition sector, with a keen focus on Southern Mediterranean nations like Lebanon and Syria.
