gathering of Mediterranean entrepreneurs,
industry agents, initiatives, policy makers and
financial institutions working on productive, circular
and sharing economies.
It is an EC funded event which is organised by
SCP/RAC in collaboration with the UN Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO) and the UN
Environment Programme (UNEP).
The conference (www.switchmedconnect.com) will
gather stakeholders from Mediterranean countries
in Europe, North Africa and Middle East and it will
cover aspects such as circular economy enablers,
upcoming policies, access to finance, open
innovation platforms, transformation of the value
chains, etc.
UKTI Barcelona, as a collaborating entity, is
looking to bring British companies interested in the
Green Business sector into the Mediterranean
market, wishing to:
 Identify trends and opportunities in the
Mediterranean region
 Discover the Mediterranean networks working
on productive, sharing and circular economies
 Explore partnerships with leading industry
players to successfully approach those
markets or for H2020 consortia
 Increase brand awareness amongst
stakeholders of the Circular Economy in
Mediterranean countries.
