Our Mission

The Mediterranean Basin’s extremely rich cultural, artistic and creative heritage is a continuous source of inspiration for many creative minds globally.

Locally grown creative talent has aspirations to build and grow responsible brands, responding to consumer needs in the post-pandemic, digitally-connected world.

The opportunity to do so is limited by a lack of know-how and mentorship, infrastructure inadequate for start-ups, mismatched operational expertise, weak global visibility and limited access to funding.

Our aim is to support the creative journey and help transform local ambitions from the Mediterranean Basin into strong, responsible and aspirational global brands of the future.
