Led by the National Interuniversity Consortium for Marine Sciences (CoNISMa), the partnership counts on the experience of the CPMR’s Intermediterranean Commission (IMC), the Association of Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME), Plan Bleu, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), and the University of Montenegro.

InnoBlueGrowth’s main objective is to ensure the communication and capitalization activities of the thematic “modular” projects (studying, testing and capitalizing projects) in order to increase their impacts towards common identified targets. In the case of the InnoBlueGrowth, these activities are focused on the increase of the transnational activity of innovative clusters and networks of key sectors of the Mediterranean area.

InnoBlueGrowth will implement concrete actions—a communication strategy, community building initiatives and capitalization events, among others—to build a real community of modular projects, dealing with Blue Growth. This innovative community will allow the reinforcement of the cross-cutting and integrated approach between modular projects and transnational key stakeholders, which is a sine qua non condition to support Mediterranean clusters in their transnational activities processes.

Three modular projects have been already assigned to InnoBlueGrowth, entitled MAESTRALE, PELAGOS, iBLUE and PROteuS that focus on blue, sustainable energy developments and maritime surveillance. More modular projects are expected to be assigned to InnoBlueGrowth making thus an expanded blue growth community.
