The I3-4-BLUE GROWTH project is driven by a committed consortium working on leading blue economy innovation ecosystems. By bringing together European leading actors representing public authorities, technology centres, and industry, the project will focus on capacity building and interregional cooperation for innovation and investment for projects in two main blue sectors: 🐟 sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, and valorisation of blue resources 🔅 renewable marine energy and maritime decarbonization 🔛 WHAT’S GOING ON 📖 Handbook on Interregional Cooperation - Running now the procedures of a work package dedicated to “Ecosystem mapping, benchmarking and interregional innovation investment (I3) needs/ priorities”. The consortium surveyed to collect best practices on interregional cooperation. Through this action, a handbook will be presented to identify a collection of regional initiatives across Europe to showcase exemplary practices and raise awareness about available regional development tools, initiatives, projects, and best practices, and thereby strengthening peer-to-peer learning and know-how on opportunities to foster interregional innovation investment projects and cooperation in the blue economy sector. All results will be shared with stakeholders of the project and also available in I3-4-BLUE GROWTH project website. 🙌 I3 Working Groups - Now establishing a quadruple-helix (Q-helix) strategic working groups of relevant players and stakeholders with interest in interregional innovation & investments in the blue economy sectors targeted. This action will be carried out by consulting public authorities, regional development agencies, universities, and industry representative organizations with track records in the sector to advise on the needs and strategic priorities. The online sessions will be during May and June and are expected views on industrial, technical, and investment needs and advices on how to foster business-research-industry cooperation and how to foster interregional innovation investment projects will be shared afterwords.
