Marseille, Capital of the Mediterranean!


An economic ambition: make the region the “hub” of Euro-Mediterranean business.
Workshops and numerous opportunities for exchanges with economic, political experts and   business leaders to build a competitive, economically powerful and successful region!
Business appointments for a concrete and effective approach to Euro-Mediterranean markets.

 
 

« Business has made Europe and it will also make the Euro-Mediterranean region. Marseille and the PACA Region have all the assets necessary to be the driving force at the heart of the Mediterranean. This is the challenge of the operation ’’ MED BUSINESS DAYS, Companies boosting the Mediterranean Region”, which will propose, over the two days, ways and means to optimise the economic and commercial synergies between the two shores of Mare Nostrum. »

Stéphan Brousse
President of the UPE13

 

« The businessmen of the South intend to demonstrate that they are the leading ambassadors of Euro-Mediterranean construction. By choosing Marseille Provence as the epicentre of this strategy, we are restoring its historic vocation as the Metropolis for economic exchanges and a blend of cultures »



Jacques Pfister
President of the CCIMP

 

« Firstly, we must understand that entrepreneurship is the dynamic of progress. Business leaders’ advice must be taken on board. In the end, public/private partnership, the synergy between the economic and political worlds, is the key to moving forward. A business organisation which integrates these two principles, should make the difference in facing the new challenges of our world. We will always look forward to be this organisation »

Jacques-Jean Sarraf
President of BusinessMed

 

« I fully support the new Mediterranean policy to reinforce the competitiveness of the private sector. “The Marseille Agenda for Competitiveness” that the Euro-Mediterranean companies will develop jointly during this conference will boost growth, employment and cooperation between the European Union and the countries South of the Mediterranean. »




Ernest-Antoine Seillière
