Financing Mediterranean AI Capacity: Talent, Data, and Compute
In commemoration of the Barcelona Process’ 30th anniversary, the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) will convene the 10th UfM Regional Forum under the banner “Together for a Stronger Euro-Mediterranean Partnership.” The Barcelona+30 moment is a region-wide opportunity to shape the next phase of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. In parallel, the EU’s proposed Pact for the Mediterranean, expected to be endorsed in November 2025, sets three pillars that prioritize more integrated and inclusive economies, trusted digital infrastructure, and scaled legal pathways for talent partnerships, with an Action Plan due in Q1 2026.
As part of the run-up to these processes, EuroMedAI presented a snapshot of AI capacity across the Southern Mediterranean at a side event during UNGA-80 (September 2025).
To continue the conversation and broaden participation, EuroMedAI is convening an interactive, multistakeholder dialogue to explore innovative financing approaches for AI capacity and to address the regional AI divide within the framework of the Pact for the Mediterranean, the UfM’s evolving regional strategy, and complementary national strategies across our Common Mediterranean Space.
