The wider Mediterranean region includes highly diverse but complementary economies. In recent years, global phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and trade disruptions in the Red Sea have led regional countries and stakeholders to focus significantly on the establishment of sustainable supply chains and improved logistics. Therefore, new synergies should be expected to emerge in various industrial sectors and across them with the aim of unlocking the region’s growth potential and promoting industrial transformation on both the northern and southern shores. Nevertheless, in many countries, challenges remain, including regulatory issues and investment barriers. This session examines opportunities and obstacles to industrial cooperation in the region, identify priority sectors for collaboration, and assess the policy tools and investments needed to turn complementarity into long-term strategic partnership. How can economic cooperation between the northern and the southern shores of the Mediterranean be advanced? In which infrastructure and industrial sectors is there the most potential for developing synergies? What role can the private sector play in fostering stronger industrial ties?
