🍎 Meet the next GoZero Food Projects! 🍎

The GoZero Programme is proud to introduce the second group of 8 selected food-sector participants from across the Mediterranean, each bringing a different perspective on how food systems can become more sustainable, circular and resource-efficient.

From regenerative agriculture and food-waste valorisation to livestock feed, fermentation, food processing and institutional catering, this new group reflects the diversity of businesses and organisations working to accelerate the green transition across the region.

🌱 Through GoZero, participants are assessing their sustainability and circularity performance and receiving tailored tools, practical resources and one-to-one mentoring to help turn ambition into measurable action.

Within the framework of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme Innovative Sustainable Economy mission (ISE) Dialogue4Innovation governance project, and in collaboration with DEHUKAM, we organised our Transformative Innovation Policy Lab (TIPLab) in , Türkiye.

The Lab brought together representatives from across the quadruple helix, including local, regional and national public authorities, the private sector, academia and civil society.

The Izmir TIPLab focused on the Sustainable Management and Valorisation of Marine Litter. The first session took place online on 24 June, followed by Sessions 2 and 3, which were held in person in Izmir. The aim was to jointly develop an Action Plan that complemented the existing Izmir Marine Litter Action Plan.

TIPLabs are designed as challenge-driven, place-based and multi-actor participatory processes that foster systemic transformation by bringing together public authorities, local governments, academia, private-sector actors and civil society around a shared territorial challenge.

Building synergies with the Community4Innovation governance project, the agenda featured a capitalisation exercise aimed at mainstreaming the different solutions tested by the ISE thematic projects. BlueEconomy, 2B-BLUE, RECONNECT and EcoMedIslands Interreg Euro-MED participated online, alongside a presentation of the Mentoring & Twinning activity.

Building bridges for sustainable finance across the Mediterranean
MedWaves took part in the 25th FEBEA Annual Conference, held in San Servolo, Venice, under the theme:

“Caring and Preserving: Ethical Finance building community.”

Three days of conversations, exchanges and connections with organisations and professionals working across ethical finance, the social economy and alternative finance.

During the conference, MedWaves presented the Mediterranean Sustainable Finance Observatory (MSFO), a regional platform designed to strengthen sustainable finance across the Mediterranean.

The MSFO brings together financial actors, policymakers, international organisations, businesses and experts from across the Northern and Southern Mediterranean to exchange knowledge, share experiences and good practices, strengthen cooperation and support sustainable finance.

The environmental, climate, economic and social challenges facing our region are interconnected and require coordinated, long-term action to support sustainable development and build a more resilient Mediterranean.

One of the messages we take home from San Servolo perfectly captures the spirit of these days:

“Let us go home and keep building bridges in a world that is busy building walls.”

At MedWaves, we would like to thank FEBEA and Banca Etica for the invitation and for the opportunity to take part in such an inspiring gathering, share our work in the Mediterranean and present the Mediterranean Sustainable Finance Observatory.

We will keep building bridges across the two shores of the Mediterranean, connecting knowledge and strengthening cooperation to advance sustainable finance.

🌍 MedWaves joined the 4th ISEC Innovation Camp in Marseille!

On 16–17 September, the Interreg Euro-MED Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission community came together to explore a key question for the Mediterranean: How can we build a sufficiency-based economy?

For MedWaves, sufficiency is a natural extension of our work on Sustainable Consumption and Production. Sufficiency invites us not only to produce and consume more efficiently and differently, but also to question what is truly needed and how much is enough. This is increasingly important for the Mediterranean, where reducing resource pressures requires both more circular systems and changes in consumption patterns.

Over two days, the Camp brought together different perspectives on how we can rethink the way we produce, consume and use resources — translating the principles of sufficiency into more sustainable, resilient and inclusive territories.

🤝 It was a valuable opportunity to exchange with the Mission community, share perspectives and continue building collective approaches to a more sustainable Mediterranean.

When textiles stay in circulation, their value reaches far beyond the materials themselves.

A new article from the project explores how more circular textile systems can benefit citizens, businesses, designers, researchers, public authorities and policymakers across the Mediterranean.
