Hackathon MedInnovation Tour: the pre-event of the “MediTour 2023” Forum at UEMF

Euromed University of Fes organized, in partnership with the Fès-Meknès Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services, the “MedInnovation Tour 2023” Hackathon which was held at the UEMF Eco-campus on October 13 and 14, 2023 under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts and the Social and Solidarity Economy.

A flagship event that precedes the 10th edition of the Mediterranean Tourism Forum, this hackathon aims to promote investment in this sector, strengthen interregional cooperation and showcase the tourist assets of the Mediterranean region.  

This year’s MedInnovation Tour brought together several actors and experts from the tourism field as well as entrepreneurs with creative ideas to rethink the tourist experience and offer new perspectives to energize Mediterranean tourism by emphasizing the region’s natural and cultural assets. 

During this Hackathon, the shortlisted candidates benefited from several training, coaching and support sessions provided by experts to allow them to live an immersive entrepreneurial experience through workshops and roundtables developed around different themes, notably “Design Thinking & UX/UI Design in the tourism sector”, “Sustainability and innovation in the tourism sector”, “Solution development, Product design and Prototype” and “How to pitch?”. 

At the end of these two days of collective reflection and intense work, several innovative projects emerged around the theme “Mediterranean tourism in projects”.

The awards ceremony was marked by the presence of several prominent figures from the public and private sectors representing different segments of tourism and the academic world.
