MEDFEST aims to exceed the concept of traditional “fair” and evolve into a strategic B2B platform, capable to attract investments, foster powerful synergies, and generate commercial opportunities for international companies, institutions, and economic operators.

The goal is to create an innovative event that serves as a benchmark for the Mediterranean, highlighting its biodiversity and fostering collaboration between business, renewable energies, sustainable tourism, and agri-food sectors. This collaborative model will be replicated globally, generating tangible benefits for the host country in terms of media exposure, economic growth, and tourism development.

MEDITERRANEAN, CRADLE OF BIODIVERSITY. PROMOTING THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS

MEDFEST aims to promote the Mediterranean’s biodiversity, which plays a crucial role in supporting healthy ecosystems and human well-being. By understanding and protecting this natural treasure, we safeguard our planet and ensure a thriving future for all.

The biological variety in all its forms, from microbes to plants and animals, up to the human species with its cultural diversities, is present in the Mediterranean, and particularly in Italy. This is an even more precious heritage, given that our country concentrates one of the most significant biological diversities in all of Europe, with 60,000 animal species, 10,000 vascular plants, and over 130 ecosystems.

The biodiversity of the Mediterranean represents, depending on the taxonomic groups, from 4 to 25% of the global marine species diversity.
