Economic Week of the Mediterranean
For those who are not yet aware, an Economic Week of the Mediterranean is
organised in Marseille, with a score of quality events, in a week (19 to 24
November 2007). It is expected to gather between 3 and 5,000 persons
interested in the economic development of the Mediterranean and the creation
of co-operation relationships between all our teams. Many events are opened
to the public.
The leaders in Euro-Mediterranean relations, Marseille City Council and
Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur Regional Council, have joined with the
Euroméditerranée public development agency to host the first “Mediterranean
Economic Week”. About fifteen major events will provide a basis on which
economists, experts, businessmen, politicians and the heads of local and
national authorities from various countries will be able to discuss the
major issues paving the way for consolidation of Mediterranean partnership
and regional economic integration.
This first conference will include recurrent events such as the “Euromed
Business Summit” organised by Economist Conferences, the “Rendez-Vous de la
Méditerranée” organised by the Cercle des Economistes and the Institut de la
Méditerranée, and finally the Conference on Europe-Mediterranean Relations
organised by the Aspen Institute. There will also be new initiatives
focussing on subjects currently in the headlines e.g. innovation, clusters,
issues for the textile sector, urban waste management, European Union
funding and North-South solidarity.
The strategic factors behind the development of a Mediterranean area
(cooperation, employment, investment, training and youth) and its position
within the global economy will be explored throughout the week and
illustrated by numerous testimonials and opportunities to share and discuss
past experiences.
Political and institutional leaders, representatives from European and
international organisations, directors of multinational companies and SMEs,
researchers, economists and journalists from both sides of the Mediterranean
will provide debate and analyses and engage in discussions that will
hopefully give rise to new operational proposals.
The organisers of all the events held during this First Mediterranean
Economy Week are convinced, like the many personalities from the worlds of
politics and economics who will be attending it, that Marseille and the
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region are ideal locations for discussion and
action between Europe and the Mediterranean.
