In an era of rapid geopolitical shifts, the Think Tank and Policy Planners Forum: MED Foresight Committee serves as a crucial platform for analyzing the Mediterranean’s strategic landscape. This region, a nexus of cultural, economic, and political interactions, faces challenges such as migration pressures, energy security, and regional conflicts. Simultaneously, opportunities for cooperation in sustainable development and digital innovation are emerging. How can policymakers effectively navigate these complexities to foster stability and growth? What role can think tanks play in shaping a forward-looking agenda that addresses both immediate and long-term regional needs? These questions aim to stimulate a comprehensive dialogue among experts and stakeholders.
