About MGI
The Mediterranean is Europe’s frontline to Africa, but it remains a weakly connected, untapped region. There is significant potential for the region and diverse opportunities in terms of geographic and sectoral coverage.
The Mediterranean Growth Initiative (MGI) is an independent, private sector undertaking supporting thinking and doing around the Mediterranean.
The MGI rests on two key pillars: understanding the region and its potential using data and analysis, and bringing together key decision-makers and investors.
We published our inaugural report in 2015, and since then we have covered key issues facing the Med on our Twitter account, as well as in ad hoc analysis pieces.
MGI.online the Mediterranean Growth Initiative’s web portal, launched in April 2017. It is the one-stop hub for information on the Mediterranean, providing direct access to data and analysis covering all countries in the region.
