On November 16, MedaWeek was held in Barcelona, bringing together investors, startups, and SMEs active in the tourism sector. This exciting event aimed to merge innovation and sustainability in the maritime and tourism economy.

After the pitch session where innovative ideas and solutions were shared, businesses and investors seized networking opportunities, expanding their networks and exchanging ideas with other professionals. Startups, investors, traditional SMEs, and consortium partners all played a key role in this event, with a common goal: to create a bluer and greener Mediterranean!

The ECO CRUISING FU-TOUR program is a project co-financed by the European Union for healthy and blue development of the blue economy in the Western Mediterranean region. The ECO-CRUISING FU-TOUR project is based on strong transnational cooperation between Western Mediterranean countries (Algeria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Spain, and Tunisia). The project aims to strengthen the blue, green, and digital management and innovation capacities of tourism SMEs in the Western Mediterranean, as well as public and private actors promoting coastal and maritime destinations in the EU and Western Europe. Its objective is to harness the green potential of Western Mediterranean tourism SMEs and cross-border cooperation to unlock new business opportunities in the emerging sector of green cruise tourism.
