i3-4-BLUE-GROWTH
The i3-4-BLUE-GROWTH project aims to empower less developed European regions in order to strengthen the capacities of their blue economy ecosystems in identifying interregional innovation projects, promoting the development of a sustainable and intelligent blue economy.
The project focuses on two value chains with high potential for innovation and growth:
Sustainable seafood, aquaculture and valorization of blue resources.
Renewable maritime energy and decarbonization of the maritime sector.
At the heart of the project’s activities will also be the identification and mapping of opportunities for innovative and sustainable investments in Deep Tech technologies in these two value chains.
i3-4-BLUE-GROWTH involves ten partners from eight different countries, enabling interregional collaboration and capacity building in six less developed regions, including the Autonomous Region of the Azores, and the Central and Northern Regions of Portugal, exploring synergies and opportunities for collaboration with the main European blue economy clusters.
