SwitchMed is an initiative that supports and connects stakeholders to scale-up social and eco innovations in theMediterranean countries, a huge region that shares a common culture of innovation and progress based on care for the environment and the efficient use of resources. Its mission is to provide all Mediterranean stakeholders, with tools and connections to supporting partners for social and eco innovations, to achieve productive, circular and sharing economies.
SwitchMed is collaboratively coordinated by the EU, United Nations Industrial Development Organizations (UNIDO), United Nations Environment Program Mediterranean Action Plan (UNEP/MAP), its Regional Activity Centre for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP/RAC in Catalonia) and the UNEP-DTIE (Division of Technology, Industry and Economics).
