Overview
- The III Foro del Mediterráneo, held June 16–18 in Barcelona, ran a parallel closed‑door 'Agenda Complementaria' that brought together over 50 institutional leaders, public officials and business executives to refine policy solutions.
- Public affairs consultancy beBartlet organized and facilitated the private sessions, which were moderated by Albert Sáez and Jaume Rios and designed to be more technical than the Forum’s public debates.
- Participants focused on five priority areas—housing rehabilitation to improve access, water management for climate resilience, talent attraction, sustainable mobility, and reindustrialization of the Mediterranean—and worked on concrete, implementation‑oriented proposals.
- The Agenda Complementaria was created in response to repeated requests from eight local expert councils convened by Prensa Ibérica for direct administrative involvement to turn diagnostics into action.
- Organizers present the closed sessions as a bidirectional listening platform that links public-stage debate and private policymaking, a model that could speed adoption of regional pacts if administrations move to implement the technical proposals.
