The overall objective of the MED Programme The programme aims to promote sustainable growth in the Mediterranean area by fostering innovative concepts and practices and a reasonable use of resources and by supporting social integration through an integrated and territorially based cooperation approach It covers totally 57 regions of 10 Eu Member states and 3 IPA Countries
Coherence and complementarity of MED programme 1-Structural Funds (ERDF, ESF, EAFRD, EMFF) regional and national programmes The transnational and regional intervention strategies in fields of Mediterranean importance will contribute to improve regional and territorial practices to better identify development potential and challenges at the transnational level (Fields: blue and green growth such as tourism, agriculture and agribusiness, marine and environmental industries, energy, transports but also creative industries and social economy that are especially important for the MED area, training, capacity building.) 2-Macro-regional strategies in the Mediterranean The transnational and regional intervention strategies will contribute to the EU strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) by supporting the implementation of the Action Plan of the EUSAIR Strategy. The MED Programme shares large parts of its cooperation area with this area together with the Adrion Programme; 3-other EU thematic programmes, Horizon 2020, LIFE +, COSME or the Programme for Social Change and Social Innovation and other cooperation programmes such as ENI MED and Balkan MED.

The structure of MED programme PRIORITY AXIS 1 (75,00 Mio): Promoting Mediterranean innovation capacities to develop smart and sustainable growth PRIORITY AXIS 2 (46,80 Mio): Fostering low carbon strategies and E.E. in specific MED territories: cities, islands and remote areas PRIORITY AXIS 3 (79,10 Mio): Protecting and promoting Mediterranean natural and cultural resources areas PRIORITY AXIS 4 (18,70 Mio): A shared Mediterranean Sea
FOCUS on AXIS 1/ Promoting Mediterranean innovation capacities to develop smart and sustainable growth Investment priority 1.b: promotion business investment in R&D, developing links and synergies between enterprises, research and development centres and higher education sectors. Specific Objective 1.1: To increase transnational activity of innovative clusters and networks of key sectors of the MED area: to improve innovation capacities of public and private actors involved in green and blue growth sectors, creative industries and social economy through stronger transnational cooperation and better connections between actors of the quadruple helix (research bodies, businesses, public authorities, civil society).the objective is especially to improve empowerment of these actors with, within and between existing clusters, economic sectors and networks.
FOCUS on AXIS 1-Promoting Mediterranean innovation capacities to develop smart and sustainable growth Expected results Reinforced and empowered transnational innovation clusters and networks in key sectors of the MED area Crucial challenges: to improve the innovation framework conditions, strengthen and empower innovation clusters and networks, more particularly, in their transnational dimension, in the field of green and blue growth, creative industries and social innovations (connection between clusters, between research and SMEs, between research and public administration, between SMEs and clusters; support to living labs; involvment of end users (businesses or consumers) ).
