The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Republic of Tunisia will be hosting the 7th FEMIP Conference on"Research, Development and Innovation, Keys for a Sustainable Development in the Mediterranean"on 15 March 2010 in Tunis.

A press release said the one-day Conference would bring together government officials, members of organisations supporting innovation as well as representatives of the private sector and international financial institutions.

The focus of the Conference will be on supporting private sector development and the EIB's vocation as a long-term investor. The four broad themes will detail the necessary steps to consolidate a suitably structured innovation chain to successfully create and develop a favourable environment for research, development and innovation (RDI), namely:

* The institutional framework governing the development of RDI
* Business Strategies for the development of RDI
* The role of networks in the consolidation of an innovative Mediterranean economy
* Supporting tools and funding for innovative companies.

Since its creation in 2002, FEMIP has been involving the Mediterranean partner countries in its lending policy guidelines through constructive discussions on economic, financial and sectoral matters. This is now a three-way dialogue involving the FEMIP Ministerial Meeting, the FEMIP Committee and the FEMIP Conferences, held on both sides of the Mediterranean shores.
