Abstract
MIBA Levante looks towards the Mediterranean, positioning itself as a meeting point for countries on its different shores, called upon to address challenges that transcend national borders.
The Summit is promoted by EAMC – Engineering Association of Mediterranean Countries, an organization that brings together and connects engineering professionals from across the Mediterranean region, fostering dialogue and the exchange of expertise. At the heart of the event is the fight against global warming, through the integration of innovative technologies and construction techniques tailored to the region’s specific climatic conditions. This initiative strengthens MIBA Levante’s international outlook and its role as a “bridge” between the different shores of the Mediterranean, transforming the trade fair into a hub for knowledge exchange and the development of shared solutions.
