The Development of Cultural and Creative Industries clusters in the Southern Mediterranean Region Project is funded by the EU and the Italian Cooperation and implemented by UNIDO. Is expected to facilitate the development of a number of innovative clusters of MSMEs in the Southern Mediterranean (at least one per partner country) to take advantage of common opportunities arising from closer cooperation and integration, including strengthening the capacity of local institutions to deliver tailored services and assistance in business development and creative industries. Activities will be carried out at both regional and national level and no country-specific budget will be allocated.
