Within the framework of the EBSOMED project, BUSINESSMED is organising an online meeting of its Employers' Thematic Committee "Digitalization" on 18 November 2022.

The Committee on the Digitalization is in line with the current trends undergone by the Euro-Mediterranean Business Community, who due to the COVID 19 pandemic and governmental measures had to promptly shift its business online. Nevertheless, this fast-paced shift for Businesses also implied that BSOs had to explore new ways to pursue their mission and offer their members new digitalized services.

International and Regional Actors have also listed Digitalization as a priority item on their Agenda.

BUSINESSMED and its Members, through the creation and start of the thematic committee on digitalization, sets itself at the forefront to the policy curve, by analyzing the impact that this business model shift has had not only on SMEs, but also on BSOs. The Committee will be a chance for Employers Federation to best understand the long term implication, as well as highlighting future possibilities linked to digitalization for the Mediterranean economy.

The meeting aims to:

• Discuss and Validate the periodical survey
• Addressing the guide's headings and representation tools
• Share information, experiences and facilitate peer learning in the Euro-Mediterranean Region.
