About
Euromed Clusters Forward is co-funded by the european Union up to 90% for a global amount of EUR 7.8 million budget, and led by ANIMA until 2026 with the aim of strengthening clusters and their members in 7 Southern Mediterranean countries, promoting inclusive innovation and competitiveness in the euromed region in order to improve growth, economic diversification, sustainable development and employment.
The economic landscape of Europe and the southern Mediterranean region has undergone significant transformations, presenting both challenges and opportunities.

The health crisis, the quest for sovereignty and the climate imperative are all factors that today justify a shift in European demand towards a more local production. The Mediterranean basin can be the location for this production, and shortening supply chains will have a positive impact on the environment.
The high productivity and competitiveness of the countries of the south, the technological revolution underway in industry and existing trade agreements are all favourable factors.
