The conference will be held in physical presence in Amman (Jordan), while also welcoming online participants from across the Mediterranean region. It will bring together policymakers, beekeepers, researchers, environmental organisations, entrepreneurs, tourism stakeholders and civil society representatives to explore how the Bee Economy can drive sustainable rural development, biodiversity protection, women’s entrepreneurship and innovative apitourism models.

The programme will open with welcome remarks from Jordanian national authorities and representatives of the Interreg NEXT MED Programme, followed by a comprehensive presentation of the PLANBEE project by its Coordinator, the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, outlining the project’s vision, activities and expected impact across six Mediterranean countries.

Key sessions of the conference will include expert insights and a high-level panel discussion focusing on:

  • Flora, climate and biodiversity as key determinants of honey quality, authenticity and branding
  • MED Queens, highlighting the role of women bee entrepreneurs in strengthening local and Mediterranean bee economies
  • Apitourism, showcasing how HoneyBeeRoutes and community-led experiences can diversify rural incomes, building on lessons from the MedBEESinessHubs project

The event will conclude with a networking lunch, offering participants the opportunity to exchange ideas, build partnerships and explore future cooperation in the Bee Economy.

The conference will be conducted in English, with simultaneous interpretation into Arabic.
