Ms.Barbara Beltrame, President of BUSINESSMED and Vice President of Confindustria, in charge of internationalization, did an intervention on November 30, 2020 at the discussion session "Rethinking Infrastructure: Fostering a steady and sustainable economic recovery in the Mediterranean" held in the framework of the Forum "MED Rome Mediterranean Dialogues 2020" organized online by ISPI - Istituto per glistudi di politicainternazionale.

MED-ROME is an annual meeting that brings together high-level economic operators from all over the Mediterranean region and aims to rethink the traditional approaches of the region and to draft a new "positive agenda", responding to common challenges both at regional and international level.

Mrs. Beltrame recalled the consequences of the Covid-19, which brought the Mediterranean into a new era marked by the return of multilateralism and geopolitics in the service of the current challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. She also emphasized the resilience, appropriate business models and an organizational structure that requires a strong social perception, all of which play a role in promoting sustainable economic activities and this is an integral part of the commitment that the G20 has made to advance international economic cooperation.
