The event will be available online via LinkedIn or the Forum's YouTube channel, coinciding with the International Day of the Mediterranean.
Matteo Redenti, Founder of the Mediterranean Forum, shares his thoughts on this edition:
"This year, we have managed to send an important and constructive message despite numerous challenges. Hosting high-profile guests from Italy, Lebanon, and many other countries was complex, but discussing concrete opportunities will be a true signal of peace. At a time of geopolitical difficulty in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, we will discuss how the foundations of civil economy and the 2030 agenda can guide us toward stability. Special thanks to the presidency of the Italian parliamentary delegation at NATO, particularly Hon. Lorenzo Cesa, for support in organizing this event."
Key Panels Include:
- Blue Economy and Climate Security in the Mediterranean: Discussing opportunities and synergies.
- De-globalization and Principles of a New Economy: Exploring innovative intersections of economy and finance.
- Peace and Stability as a Foundation for Economic Growth in the Euromed Area: Analyzing new opportunities.
- Cultural Capital as a Pillar of the New Mediterranean Cohesion Process: Dedicated to Women's Empowerment, featuring Natalia Bayona, Dr. Manal Abdel Samad Najd, PhD Gayane Gabrielyan, Senator Flavia Malpezzi, and Dr. Azzurra Rinaldi.
The event will conclude with a panel on "The Enlargement of Europe to the Mediterranean, a Possible Choice?", exploring a real Euromed vision from various perspectives.
We will host distinguished speakers from organizations like the United Nations, NATO Parliamentary Assembly, European Parliament, Italian Parliament, UNESCO, the Armenian Ministry of Environment, Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital, and more.
