Tangier: The MEDays 2023 Forum

Under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the Amadeus Institute is organizing the 15th edition of MEDays from November 15 to 18 in Tangier, to explore all facets of the 2023 theme of the “Forum du Sud”: “Polycrise, Polymonde”.

Over the course of 4 days, numerous political decision-makers, business leaders and leading experts will debate the main geopolitical, economic and social issues shaking the planet: economic and health crises, geopolitical tensions, sustainable development challenges, and the crisis in the Middle East, among others.

Here’s an overview of some of the key debates among the fifty or so sessions on the program:

• MEDays Investments Summit: Several sessions will be devoted to investment and development opportunities in Africa and emerging countries. Topics will include promoting sustainable development, infrastructure and industry, and exploring new trade and investment opportunities in Africa.

• Middle East Crisis: Exploring the regional and global implications, as well as ongoing diplomatic efforts to bring about a short-term ceasefire and the necessary re-engagement of the peace process leading to a two-state solution.
