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.

We continued with the Pitch Event #MadeIntheMediterranean in which 22 start-ups from Spain, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy, and Greece had three minutes to pitch 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.
