In a global context marked by the fragmentation of strategic balances, regional wars and growing technological and demographic competition, the Il Sole 24 Ore Next Med project represents not only an editorial innovation, but also a device for the projection of economic, communicative and 'diplomatic' influence in the enlarged quadrant of the Mediterranean.

24 Hours Next Med configures itself as an initiative capable of positioning information where the decision-making ganglia demand it. Through a multi-channel format, the project aims at Euro-Mediterranean dialogue by responding to the challenges of training and economic development. Education, culture, security and economic power are, in fact, the fundamental assets for the future of Italia, the European Union and all the nations that face or have influence on the mare Nostrum.

Training is one of the main pivots for the development of relations between the Mediterranean countries. It needs a flow of information capable of creating an economy of scale around the issue. And above all, it deserves the creation of an overall framework that supports a strategic vision. To involve many more companies, unite efforts and investments, projecting a hope of light in Europe's demographic winter. Geopolitical blocs are in constant motion. The opportunities for development, industrial and social interaction around the Mediterranean deserve constant attention and targeted solicitation. Building supply chains means revitalising an area stretching from continental Europe to the Sahel and the Middle East. Assets need security. And the security of networks, of data, of port basins, of the seabed, and food security unravel with the complex skein of new technologies. We will cover the geographical area that touches the Mediterranean, but also its extensions: the Balkans, Turkey, the Gulf countries, up to monitoring the progression of the Imec corridor that takes the waters of the Mare Nostrum to India.

The schedule

On these premises, the project unfolds across all the group's platforms: TV, print, digital, infographics, radio and finally a vertical on the Radiocor press agency. A periodic overlook on the daily newspaper dialogues with a section on the website that daily allows, in addition to Italian and English, publications in Arabic.

A TV format is born (on a weekly basis) designed for the 246 digital terrestrial channel, but with content also accessible in a digital version. Borders, where the world changes, narrates through 24-minute episodes the places where different systems meet and generate geopolitical, economic and social tensions. From Mediterranean migrations to strategic routes, the series explores the dynamics by which infrastructure, demography and security redefine global power. Food crises and new energy competitions show how resources influence political stability and prices for citizens and businesses. At the same time, technological and biomedical innovations redefine the relationship between freedom, health and power. Sahel, the Mediterranean, new global rivalries: borders become the point where the future of societies is decided.

Cross-cutting the content with a transversal model within the platform, the audio component has its own development through podcasts. The first 8-part series is based on an assumption: the world has become so complex that understanding it is no longer enough, it must be decrypted. it is the podcast that deciphers the aspects of modernity located at the intersection of international politics, technological innovation, the underwater world, economic balances, hybrid wars, defence and intelligence. In a nutshell: the world of security. Special attention will also be paid to multimedia developments: Next Med is not just about information, it is also about the dissemination and use of data, which will be made available to those who want to read value chains or supply chain bottlenecks.

L’osservatorio

The project does not, however, just tell the story, but - in the 24 Ore Group's tradition of independence and seriousness - aims to build roads on which companies, institutions and stakeholders can walk and run.

To this end - for the first time within a media group - a permanent Observatory is to be set up - connected to the major institutional players in the Med and Gulf area - to narrate the intertwining of new technologies and social development. The aim is to contribute to a content and relational network. Under its direction Next Med will also deal with studies, research, and events with the aim of contributing to awareness of issues concerning the Mediterranean Sea and its connections with the Gulf countries. Open to companies and foundations, the Observatory aims to provide exclusive data. Thanks to the collaboration and direction of the group's research office, NextMed will also produce business intelligence reports that are essential to pursue a path of timely information and at the same time promote best practices and provide concrete support to companies, investors and professionals. Next, in the name of the project, does not only indicate an enlarged geographical perimeter but a glimpse of the future. Essential to navigate within the six dimensions of development and economic security.
