Industries and enterprises working on EE and RES in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries (SEMCs) are growing but currently not structured. Local markets are quite competitive and currently no policies are implemented to support and promote their development neither their synergies. Since they face competition from outside the region and look for neighboring markets to be adapted to their specificities, structuring EE and RES enterprises in the SEMCs could facilitate the creation of synergies and partnerships that will promote EE and RES in the region.

In an attempt to shed the light on the evolving importance of industrial associations in developing the RE and EE sectors at national and regional level, this meetMED sub-regional workshop focusing on the Mashreq countries aims at presenting the main results of the studies conducted, at exploring further possible modalities for supporting the industrial associations in the RE and EE fields and at finding shared suitable clustering methods at the presence of different regional stakeholders.

Organised by RCREEE in the framework of the meetMED project, the sub-regional workshop on “The creation of Regional Industrial Associations for the manufacturing of EE and RES Components” will take place on 13 November 2019 in Cairo, Egypt at the presence of relevant stakeholders of the RE and EE sectors in the SEMCs.
