This document outlines the Euromed Invest project which aims to boost business and investment in the Mediterranean region. It has overall objectives of positioning the Mediterranean in key global sectors to create jobs and value, and supporting small and medium enterprises. The project will implement actions like business matchmaking, networking events, and capacity building for businesses and organizations. These actions will be carried out through roadshows, conferences, and training with the goals of increasing partnerships, foreign direct investment, and sub-national development. The project is supported by 79 partners across Europe and southern Mediterranean countries and will mobilize over 1,000 business projects and facilitate 4,500 business meetings over three years with an estimated budget of 5 million Euros.
