    About

    Euroméditerranée, a test ground for African start-ups developing innovative solutions for the SMART CITY.

    For the Euroméditerranée Urban Development Agency, innovation has always been in its DNA thanks to its R&D into thalassothermic loops, development of a platform for processing and recycling polluted soils, and building the mixed-use city of today while imagining the hybrid city of the future.

    Africa is now a major emerging market. Technological innovation is growing at an exponential rate, stimulating both new uses and new start-ups.

    This is why in 2018, urban development agency Euroméditerranée launched a competition aimed at international entrepreneurs, targeting Africa more specifically in 2019, due to the historic links between Africa and Aix-Marseille Provence Metropolis. More successful each year in terms of quality and quantity, MED’INNOVANT AFRICA has received over 180 submissions from all over the African continent. Three awards were given to inspiring and talented start-ups based in Chad, Senegal and Cameroon.

    MED’INNOVANT AFRICA, a unique forum to connect African tech leaders with the regional ecosystem of Aix-Marseille Hugues Parant, CEO Euroméditerranée

    Having witnessed the incredible efforts made by African tech in the fight against Covid-19 and to participate in the collective response, Euroméditerranée this year wanted to focus the MED’INNOCANT AFRICA competition on regional resilience.

    Faced with economic and environmental crises and challenges, collaborating to come up with resilience innovations and sustainable solutions is even more important to meet the planning and development goals of a region that has the capacity to withstand the impact.

    • To unearth exciting African innovators with the capacity to test out their innovative solutions, where possible, in the Euroméditerranée EcoCité;
    • To set up these start-ups in the developer’s catchment area in view of increasing their market share in Europe;
