EUROMED Invest is a three-year regional project for investment and business partnerships promotion co-funded by the European Commission. The ultimate goal of the project is to boost private business and investment within the Euromed area to contribute to an inclusive economic development of the region.
The specific objective of the project is to empower Euro-Med business and investment networks to implement targeted strategies supporting the creation and the international development of Micro Small and Medium sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in the most promising sectors for job creation and economic spillovers.
