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 core focus will be on two core value chains with potential for innovation and growth, in particular: sustainable seafood, aquaculture & valorisation of blue resources (value chain #1), and maritime renewable energy & decarbonisation of the maritime sector (value chain #2). Identification and mapping of opportunities for innovative, sustainable and deeptech investmentsย across those sectors will be at the core of the project activities.
I3-4-BLUE GROWTH will promote regional capacity building in six less developed regions from four countries (Portugal โ Azores, Center and North; Spain โ Andalusia; Poland โ Pomorskie; and Croatia), situated in four different macro-regions (Atlantic, Baltic, Mediterranean, and Adriatic), while exploring synergies and opportunities of collaboration with leading blue economy clusters across Europe.
