Third Maghreb Entrepreneurs Forum

Marrakech, 17-18 February 2014

The UfM Secretariat is Institutional Partner of the Third Maghreb Entrepreneurs Forum, which will be organised in Marrakech on 17-18 February 2014, by the General Confederation of Enterprises of Morocco (CGEM) on behalf of the Maghreb Employers Union (UME).

The objective of the forum is to strengthen economic integration in the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) through a private sector initiative. In this regard, the third edition of the forum will witness the launching of the Maghreb Initiative on Trade and Investment (IMCI). IMCI aims to boost intra-Maghreb trade by providing a roadmap and action plan for the short, medium and long term.

Likewise, the forum’s sessions will discuss the role of entrepreneurs in the Maghreb economic integration and in the promotion of intra-Maghreb exchanges.

The Maghreb Employers Union (UME) announced the launching of this initiative on the occasion of the Economic Forum of the Western Mediterranean (Dialogue 5+5), held at the headquarters of the Union for the Mediterranean on 23 October, 2013.
