Barcelona, 07 November 2016 – The 10th Mediterranean Week of Economic Leaders has aroused great interest among national, regional and international media. From prominent general media to specialized publications, radio and television echo every year of this international meeting and this special edition is expected to be attended by media from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

The 10th edition of MedaWeek Barcelona will have the support of international relevant media such as The Financial Times or, at a regional level, the Daily News Egypt, Anadolu Agency of Turkey or EFE agency of Spain; as well as national media such as the Moroccan l’Observateur du Maroc and others from Spain, Lebanon, France, Tunisia and Italy. This edition is expected to have media coverage of more than 50 regional and international media, as well as publications on governmental institutions and entities’ websites.

The regional and international media is committed to the 10th edition of the Mediterranean Week and thus confirms its commitment to the Mediterranean, a region in transformation that undergoes profound political and socio-economic changes. Recent events such as the conflicts in Syria or Libya and the refugee crisis have highlighted the strong interconnection between the two shores of the region and, on the other hand, between socio-political transformations and economic processes. It is the pillar for the stability of any country and, hence, the Mediterranean region.

What is MedaWeek Barcelona?

The Mediterranean Week of Barcelona is a timely and essential platform not only for the regional private sector, but also for the media themselves in their responsibility to explain the evolution of the Mediterranean scenario and, therefore, its implication for achieving a space of peace in the region.

The 10th edition of the Mediterranean Week of Economic Leaders, organized by the Association of Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME), the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Barcelona, the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed), with the collaboration of various regional and international organizations, will take place on 30 November, 1 and 2 December in Barcelona.
