Event The Mediterranean Week of Economic Leaders - UfM Open Days

The Mediterranean Week of Economic Leaders has become a major economic event in the Mediterranean region. Last year more than a thousand businessmen and businesswomen, governmental entities of the Mediterranean region and representatives of international and regional institutions met to discuss and promote the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation and integration as a core factor for economic and social development.

The Barcelona Week, a reference for the key stakeholders of the Mediterranean region, reinforces and consolidates the economic pillars of the Union for the Mediterranean and its permanent Secretariat in Barcelona, when major social and economic changes are happening in the region.

In this historical moment, the Barcelona Week will provide a forum to discuss solutions for a better future, addressing critical issues like good governance, youth employment, development of SMEs, green economy and integration of women, by proposing concrete projects and creating new business opportunities.

  • North Africa Business Development Forum - NABDF 2011
