Our mission

Connecting the Mediterranean innovation ecosystem

To connect the Mediterranean Innovation Ecosystem Actors in order to facilitate:

/ 01

Inspiring an entrepreneurial culture

Entrepreneurship begins with a mindset before it becomes a business. MIP promotes programmes, competitions, training opportunities and community initiatives that encourage people to turn ideas into ventures, fostering a culture of innovation across the Mediterranean and Africa.

/ 02

Strengthening institutions

Strong innovation ecosystems depend on strong institutions. MIP supports ministries, universities, research centres and BSOs in building their capacities, improving their services and developing partnerships that better sustain entrepreneurship and innovation.

/ 03

Developing and sharing methods

Successful practices create greater impact when they can be replicated. MIP develops, identifies and shares methodologies, tools and collaborative approaches that facilitate knowledge transfer, innovation support and ecosystem development across different contexts.

/ 04

Empowering young entrepreneurs

Young people are at the core of MIP’s mission. MIP backs initiatives that support young entrepreneurs through incubation, acceleration, mentoring, access to finance and market opportunities, with a special focus on agrifood innovation.
