\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The UfM conference on Blue Finance aims at:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Providing an overview of the current investment opportunities for the sustainable development of the Mediterranean Blue Economy and Offering practical guidance on the procedures to follow;<\/li>\n
  2. 2. Discussing the enabling conditions \u00a0(policy\/regulatory environment; technical assistance; etc.), to attract funding<\/li>\n
  3. 3. Organising direct networking opportunities and matchmaking sessions between countries and businesses and financial institutions, banks or investors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This can best be done by building on a solid background, i.e. based on a number of formal priorities and goals, set and endorsed by the countries themselves, thus providing a clearer vision for Banks and Financial institutions, in terms of sectors and\/or activities that countries are prioritising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hence, the event will be linked to both EU and UfM political priorities, aligning in particular with the 2021 UfM Ministerial Declaration on Sustainable Blue Economy: the priorities should be seen as sectors and\/or enablers for which funding and investment should be targeted and encouraged.<\/p>\n

    Although overall the conference will cover the whole Mediterranean and will be open to all UfM and EU countries, it will focus particularly on the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries and will have session(s) especially dedicated to these.<\/p>\n

    Format<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    It will take place in the form of a physical Conference in Barcelona, with the expected number of participants being around 200\/250.<\/p>\n

    The idea is to bring together various financial institutions, banks (multilateral and national), private investors as well as key representatives of the UfM countries, including industry\/business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
