MedPride is a project co-financed by the European Union within the Eumedis Programme.

The MedPride Project has the scope to create a network of Centres of Excellence to support enterprise creation and Innovation in Enterprise coordinated by Sviluppo Italia. In the seven participating Mediterranean countries (Malta, Cyprus, Morocco, Lebanon, Tunisia, Palestinian Territories, Egypt) from the Mediterranean, the project aims to help create Centres of Excellence aimed to promote local development so as to favour the creation of new enterprises in innovative areas, and to promote consultative services in the field on innovation.

Moreover, the project will use the internet as an interface for sharing activities, experiences and problems, and as a source of counselling that can be trusted. The methodology is to use a bottom up approach to nourish an entrepreneurial culture and the creation of enterprise as a push for local development.

The Maltese partner for the MedPride Project is The Foundation for International Studies of the University of Malta.  Malta Enterprise is supporting the Project in order to cover the entrepreneurial dimension of the project.
