This event took place on the 17^th of November 2022 in Barcelona in the framework of the Mediterranean Week of Economic Leaders (MedaWeek), an annual gathering organised by the Association of the Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce (ASCAME) that in its 16^th edition launched the Mediterranean Innovation Hub with the collaboration of INTECMED project.

The Mediterranean Innovation Hub counted on +250 attendees (most of them in person), the participation of 22 start-ups from seven countries and six ENI CBC MED projects. As well as investors from the Mediterranean Network of Business Angels and international donors, among others.

The day started with a session “Funding opportunities for BSOs and entrepreneurs” a panel in which Vincent Ernoux and Emanuele Cabras, talked about the next ENI CBC MED programming period, Mohamed Wageih spoke about PRIMA programme and Tarek El-Kady, fonder of the Mediterranean Business Angels, provided insights about what investors look for when investing in early-stage start-ups.

We continued with the Pitch Event #MadeInthe Mediterranean in which 22 start-ups from Spain, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy, and Greece pitched in 3-minutes their solutions to the attendees. Most of these start-ups have been backed up by ENI CBC MED programme and in particular the incubator programme of INTECMED project. The sectors chosen were agri-food, circular economy/sustainability, and technology.  It was a very fruitful event in which some of the start-ups found synergies among themselves, and investors asked great questions.
