The 'Mediterranean North Africa Countries Meeting', held on February 25 in online format, counted on the participation of high-level speakers who presented their knowledge, experience and good practices to face the crisis after the COVID-19 pandemic in North African countries. Trade, investment, innovation and the green revolution were the key topics discussed in the two sessions of the first MedaMeeting (Mediterranean Meeting).

Women in the Mediterranean region have faced the pandemic in particularly harsh conditions. They have led the healthcare front with 79% nurses. Despite their multiple responsibilities, women in the region show the lowest rates of participation in the world's economy and labour force.

The new declaration presented at MedaWeek Barcelona includes 25 initiatives for the New Economic Development Model in the Mediterranean region -'Back to Barcelona Vocation'-.

The Innovation and Digitalisation Summit will take place on Wednesday 18 November and will be responsible for inaugurating MedaWeek Barcelona 2020.
