The event will provide an overview of the financial tools available to the Mediterranean countries, where both financing and technical expertise are needed to move forward with projects and investments.

The conference will be split into four discussion-based sessions, allowing delegates to interact with key figures to gain a better understanding of the opportunities for investment in the region. A high-level panel on strategy in the opening session will be followed by three thematic sessions addressing core development finance activities: lending, blending and advising. Each of these sessions will focus on a particular sector – SMEs, energy and transport – in order to stimulate practical and operational discussions throughout the day.
