In the light of the Covid-19 emergency, the 2nd Coordination Meeting of the GIMED project will be held via video conferencing on the 11th and 12th of May 2020.

Our team, formed by six different organizations, will be connected remotely from all over the Mediterranean region:  SCP/RAC in Spain, Berytech Foundation in Lebanon, Leaders Organization in Palestine, Conect in Tunisia, Alexandria Business Association in Egypt and Fondazione Comunitá di Messina in Italy.

During this meeting, the updates about the project implementation and the planning of the new activities will be discussed. 

The participants will present the situation in each one of the countries due to the current outbreak and will discuss the mitigation strategies that have been developed to ensure the correct implementation of the project. On top of that, the partners will share the experiences and lessons learned during the first months of the project in the development of the methodologies that will be used as a tool to train the future entrepreneurs across the region.

Started in Septeber 2019, the GIMED project aims at boosting the development of eco-innovative ventures in order to create employment and drive the green and circular economy in the Mediterranean. The project will implement a ‘Green Entrepreneurship Standard’ that will standardise the supportive inputs needed to generate successful ventures and will give those ventures a mark of quality to better access finance and markets.

On the ground, the project will train and coach eco-innovators and encourage financiers to invest in the Mediterranean eco-innovation sector.
