Regional Initiatives

The MED MSMEs programme builds on regional initiatives to further push forward the policy dialogue on MSME reforms whether for an improved internationalisation, more inclusive access to finance, a facilitated administrative approach, a more enabling business environment or for the empowerment of local actors and decision makers.

As such, the programme contributes to the priorities of the UfM (Union for the Mediterranean) Regional platform on Industrial Cooperation, and it is seeking to foster synergies and complementarities and to carry out collaborative events and activities with other regional initiatives including the following:
