INNOVATION – THE NEXT SOCIETY unveils the change-makers who innovate in the Mediterranean
Published on 12 March 2021
THE NEXT SOCIETY launches #meetTHENEXTSOCIETY, a series of video-portraits to showcase the projects of innovators shaping the future in the Mediterranean!
Since 2017, THE NEXT SOCIETY has been supporting the emergence of talents and innovative leaders who are driving the next trends and usages in 7 Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia. The movement, initiated by ANIMA Investment Network and 56 partners from the Euro-Mediterranean region with the financial support of the European Union, aims at mobilising, promoting and reinforcing innovation ecosystems and economic development in the MENA region.
As it reaches its last year of implementation, the project launches #meetTHENEXTSOCIETY, a series of video-portraits featuring the beneficiaries’ entrepreneurial journey who benefited from its support services.
The first round of ten videos is already online in THE NEXT SOCIETY YouTube Channel and i-Library, and additional ones will be released in the coming months. Be aware, creativity is contagious!
