CAPACITY BUILDING
The capacity-building programme integrated under I3-4-BLUE-GROWTH aims to equip regional stakeholders and SMEs with technical, business, and investment readiness expertise based on knowledge exchange by experts on the selected topics and it will provide examples of best practices and advances in the target sectors.
The project focuses on two specific value chains: a) sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, and valorisation of blue resources; 2) renewable marine energy and maritime decarbonization aiming to transferring knowledge and good practices.
By defining relevant topics that can support the project promoters on technical, business and investment readiness, workshops were designed to increase know-how and capabilities towards interregional innovation investment projects. The capacity-building programme is supported with educational material and counted with experts/mentors in the fields : technical, business, and investment readiness. You can access all session and support material:
Session 1: Fisheries and sustainable aquaculture – Regional Growth Challenges and opportunities
Session 2: Investment readiness towards business growth and scaleup
Session 3: Blue biotechnology & valorisation of marine resources – regional growth challenges and opportunities
Session 4: Maritime renewables energies and decarbonisation – regional growth challenges and opportunities
The capacity-building workshops integrated under I3-4-BLUE-GROWTH aim to enhance stakeholder access to novel financial instruments in the sustainable blue economy by sharing knowledge, promoting investment-readiness, and building stronger connections between innovation and finance. They directly respond to stakeholder needs, combining strategic policy insights, investment-readiness tools, and peer-to-peer learning. The workshops showcased successful financing journeys from innovative companies and explored the current landscape of public and private funding opportunities across the EU.
