Initially positioned as a laboratory of ideas tackling issues linked to the Euro Mediterranean region, it has expanded its scope to evolve into a credible interlocutor on global themes, particularly focused on emerging countries. The major strategy of Amadeus Institute is to favor interaction between government, private sector and civil society through the organization of numerous conference and workshops on the international level such as MEDays forum or the Global Growth Conference (see the chapters detailing these conferences) and on the national level through the organization of different workshops. Besides the geopolitical and economic topics raised, we also discuss education, middle class, rapprochement between Morocco and countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, renewable energies, economic growth, the Arab spring, the Israeli Palestinian peace process, the role of Morocco in Africa’s development and public finances and their implication in reforms perspectives. All the reflections and recommendations issued from these studies are nurtured by Amadeus Institute s researchers and constitute a quality work that aim to the creation of different reports and publications. Amadeus Institute, thanks to a wide international network, evolving year after year through its different missions, is conducting important lobbying activities to promote Morocco’s image at the international level. Recognition and Credibility After 7 years of existence, Amadeus Institute is considered as one of most influential think tanks on the national and regional political scene. The reference ranking «Global Go Think tank 2013» published by the prestigious University of Pennsylvania and announced at the United Nations, has ranked Amadeus Institute 13th on the MENA region (Israel, Turkey and Iran included). Amadeus Institute is also ranked first think tank in the Maghreb region and 6th in the Arab world. Referenced in 2010 and ranked 28th in 2011, 18th in 2012, Amadeus Institute carries on progressing and aims to integrate the top 10 MENA and African think tanks in 2015. As the main event organized by Amadeus Institute, MEDays Forum is ranked 49th forum in the world and first forum in the Arab world, surpassing the events organized by Gulf countries (United Arab Emirates and Qatar). Morocco and to establish a Moroccan civil society that Amadeus Institute represents, at the heart of dialogues and discussions at the international scale. In 2009, Amadeus Institute has also initiated and organized the first regional conference on « Governance and economic development » in Marrakech, an event that has witnessed the participation of Maghreb and European officials, representatives of the United Nations, representatives of civil society as well as highly acclaimed academics. Strengthened by this international credibility, Amadeus Institute receives more and more delegation in official visit to Morocco. These meetings and exchanges are the opportunity to raise the questions of the reform engaged in the Kingdom but also to discuss the great regional and international topics, through the vision and the reading of an independent Moroccan think tank. Realizations and Publications: Since its creation in 2008, Amadeus Institute has distinguished itself by numerous scientific documents published: MEDays annual report, Global Growth Outlook, White paper Education/Middle class, Memorandum Constitutional Reform and the study “Morocco-Africa: 15 recommendations for a responsible and sustainable co-development”, not to mention the magazine Geopolitik, specialized in international relations and launched in 2012. The main goal of these publications is to bring Amadeus Institute closer to the academic world but also from the political and economic decision makers at the national scale by proposing in-depth analysis, benchmarks, and concrete propositions. These tools, essential to a think tank with an international scope, allow to share readings, analysis and propositions of Amadeus Institute on national or global questions, in a regular, dynamic and accessible fashion. Most importantly, it is about popularizing reflection as well as strategic and prospective watch on forefront international issues. Beyond the considerable enrichment on key subjects about Morocco and Southern countries in general (international security, economic crisis, good governance, cooperation and development), these documents are also perceived by academia as tools and academic references of high value. Amadeus Institute’s expertise is appreciated and recognized at the international level since it has been a major stakeholder in many events such as the Special Visit Program in Melbourne in 2010, the Seminar on Peace and Development in Africa in Beinjing in 2010, the Conference on the prevention of causes of conflicts in Nairobi in 2010, the Sustainable Development Summit in New Delhi in 2011, the New York Forum in 2011 and 2012, the Gulf Strategic Conference in Manama in 2013, Bamako Forum in 2010, 2013, and 2014, the forum of CPAPD 2014 in Beijing, the Abu Dhabi Strategic Debates in 2014, the General Assembly of EuroMesco every year since 2011, the MENA think tank summit in Istanbul or in 2015, the Crans Montana Forum, the Africa CEO Forum in Geneva and the BOAO Forum in China. Amadeus Institute has also been designed official partner of the Union for the Mediterranean (UPM) at the time of the forum under Franco-Egyptian governance in Marseille in 2010. Besides the topics mentioned, those forums were the opportunity to give an international scope to + Some of the Institute’s publications 6 | M E D ay s F o r u m 2 0 1 5 A M A D E US I N S T I T U T E | 7 The MEDays Forum Initiative, Goal and Appraisal MEDays International Forum, created in 2008 and hosted by the city of Tangier, Morocco’s opening on Europe and the Mediterranean, is the main event organized by Amadeus Institute. Initiative Format Held in November, under the High Patronage of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, during 4 days and more than 20 sessions and panels, MEDays Forum gathers a community of around 150 high-level speakers representing all of the five continents: heads of states, heads of governments, political decision-makers, Nobel Prizes, representatives of international organizations, CEOs, experts and forefront international figures. The forum’s official opening ceremony is the opportunity to award the MEDays prize, granted each year to figures, institutions, organizations, or firms which brought a determining contribution to the development of Southern countries, or having a real added value in the improvement of North-South or South-South relations. Each year ’s closing ceremony is marked by the reading of the “ Tangier Declaration”, which states the main recommendations proposed during the debates. At the end of each MEDays Forum, Amadeus institute conducts an in-depth analysis of the debates which are compiled in its annual report. MEDays Prize Handed annually during the official opening and closing ceremony of the forum, the MEDays Prize is attributed to figures, institutions, organizations or firms who brought a determining contribution to the improvement of north-south or south-south relations. The MEDays Prize is divided in 4 categories: - MEDays Grand Prize - MEDays Business Prize - MEDays Political Initiative Prize - MEDays Environment and Sustainable Development Prize Goal First and foremost, it is a space for dialogue, exchange, consultation, proposition between international decision-makers and major political and economic actors. As a platform for reflection and debate around different priority problematic and themes, the MEDays Forum was put in place in order to contribute to the international debate in the light of Southern countries’ ambitions (developing and emerging countries). It is, indeed, a committed and for ward-looking representative. Beyond this positioning, MEDays Forum aims to strengthen the brand image of Morocco at the international level, while putting for ward the strategic orientations defined by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI. The forum is also taking an important educational role with Moroccan citizens since the forum is open to the public and welcomes each year around 2500 participants, among them 1000 students in 2014. Appraisal Sevel years of reflection and debate MEDays forum has known a real evolution during its seven years of existence. Despite a low budget compared to other international conferences of same level, it has gradually imposed itself as being one of the most important international geostrategic forums in Africa and the Arab world. For 7 years, the MEDays Forum is organized in November of each year, Under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. It has gradually become one of the major international geostrategic forums in Africa and the Arab world Ambition and perspectives The ambition of Amadeus Institute is to maintain MEDays as a reference forum for emerging and developing countries. It aspires to be the Forum of the South, devoted to global themes and issues. It has to be stated that numerous African and Middle-Eastern countries are actively soliciting Amadeus institute, which organizes the forum, to extend the event into regional conferences. Starting 2016, a number of collaboration should give birth to a regional MEDays, preceding the actual forum in Tangier, such as Davos MENA and Africa. 8 | M E D ay s F o r u m 2 0 1 5 A M A D E US I N S T I T U T E | 9 They attended the MEDays They attended the MEDays In Politics 2014 Saeb Erakat Head Negociator of Palestine Mehdi JOMAA Prime Minister of Tunisia Ahmet DAVUTOGLU Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Rajendra Kumar PACHAURI Chair of IPCC, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dioncounda TRAORÉ Former President of Mali 2012 Andres PASTRANA Former President of Colombia 2014 2011 2010 2013 2014 Zhong JINHUA 2014 José Luis ZAPATERO Former Prime Minister of Spain Abdullah ABDULLAH Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan Amr MOUSSA Former Secretary-General of the Arab League 2012 Lech Wałęsa Former President of Poland, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 2011 Morgan TSVANGERAI Prime Minister of Zimbabwe Li ZHAOXING Former Ministre of Foreign Affairs of China 2014 2012 China’s Special Representative for African Affairs 2009 2010 Enrico Letta Former Prime Minister of Italy 2014 Yves LETERME Former Prime Minister of Belgium, S.G. of IDEA Intl. 2011 Alejandro TOLEDO Former President of Peru 1 0 | M E D ay s F o r u m 2 0 1 5 A M A D E US I N S T I T U T E | 1 1 They attended the MEDays They attented the MEDays business & economy 2014 Ahmed BELHOUL CEO, MASDAR UAE 2011 Mohamed KETTANI CEO AttijariWafa Bank 2014 Lionel ZINSOU President Fondation France-Afrique 2013 Roland BELLEGARDE Vice-President NYSE EuroNext 2011 Richard ATTIAS Founder & CEO Richard Attias & Associates 2014 Brahim BENJELLOUN TOUIMI CEO BMCE BANK of Africa Josep PIQUé CAMPS Philippe de FONTAINE-VIVE Chairman Vueling Airlines, Espagne Vice-president, European Investment Bank Colin COLEMAN Head & Managing Director Goldman Sachs South Africa Carol KARIUKI CEO, Kenya Private Sector Alliance 2012 2010 2012 2014 2014 Luisa ABRANTES CEO Angola Private Investment Agency 2010 Edmond PHELPS Economy Nobel Prize Laureate, USA 2012 Nazem Fawwaz Al KUDSI CEO, Abu Dhabi Investment Company 2014 Ebukun AWOSIKA CEO, The Chair Center Group, Nigeria 2011 Sanusi LAMIDO Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria & Emir of Kano 2011 Jan FISCHER Vice-Président EBRD 1 2 | M E D ay s F o r u m 2 0 1 5 A M A D E US I N S T I T U T E | 1 3 MEDays Program 2015 MEDays Program 2015 in the heart of Africa and emerging couNtries Main Theme 4 days of debate, discussion & interaction more than 2000 participants are expected during the sessions open to the public 60 more than Government representatives are expected more than From Clashes to Co-emErgence 200 entrepreneurs, investors & business angels will be present at our B2B meetings 120 more than local and international journalists will be present In 2015, MEDays will try to bring relevant and innovative answers to the great themes of the moment)* - How to reinforce the attractiveness of economic, financial and banking emerging countries of the African continent?
