Financing Mediterranean AI Capacity: Talent, Data, and Compute

Our Origin

EuroMedAI was born from the spirit of collaboration and intercultural dialogue embodied by the Anna Lindh Foundation Forum 2025 in Tirana, where the motto 'From Dialogue to Action' became a practical commitment. In this Euro-Mediterranean space that brought together civil society actors, researchers, policy makers, and young innovators, a clear need emerged for a specialized platform addressing the intersection of artificial intelligence with values of dialogue, human rights, and the public interest in the region. In response, EuroMedAI was established as a cross-border network working to empower Mediterranean actors to participate in shaping AI governance, promote responsible use of emerging technologies, and unify Mediterranean voices in regional and global discussions about the future of artificial intelligence.

Bridging the AI Divide: A Comparative Maturity Assessment of AI Capacity in the Southern Mediterranean

This study applies a UN-inspired AI maturity framework (Tier 0–4) to nine South Mediterranean countries—Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, and Tunisia—combining Government AI Readiness Index scores, Open Data Inventory (ODIN) metrics, and OECD AI Capability Indicators to assess public-sector AI capacity. Results reveal a two-speed trajectory: Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan qualify as 'AI ready' (T2), while the remaining countries remain 'AI nascent' or 'experimenters' (T0–T1), constrained by limited compute, weak data governance, and modest AI-skilled workforces. The paper proposes national and regional policy recommendations—including costed AI strategies, shared compute infrastructure, and cross-border research on Arabic and low-resource languages—to help the region progress toward 'AI enabled' status while ensuring AI supports inclusive, rights-respecting development.
