Blue Growth Community - Capitalization & Communication project for Blue Economy Innovation in the Mediterranean
Interreg Med promotes horizontal projects, which main objective is to ensure the communication/capitalisation activities of modular projects in order to increase their impacts towards common identified targets and “increase the transnational activity of innovative clusters and networks of key sectors of the MED area" (S.O.. With a specific focus on non-financial support to SMEs, BG therefore proposes concrete activities to enhance the capitalization nature of this second phase, going beyond the reinforcement of the cross-cutting and integrated approach between modular projects and transnational key stakeholders. BG enhances the dissemination and transferability of modular projects results to ensure stronger, wider and deeper capitalization, mainstreaming and strategic liaising processes aimed at external multilevel stakeholders, allowing a better take-on of technical modular projects results into policy-making at a multi-level governance scale, and benefitting the further development of the blue economy and entrepreuneurship notably for SMEs. These actions also keep contributing to the sustainable socio-economic development of the Med area through innovative investments in the Blue economy, while ensuring a close communication and coordination with PANORAMED as with key on-going Mediterranean strategies and initiatives (WestMed, BLUEMED...). The results will reach not only the projects and programmes scales, but also beyond, at the Member States & Mediterranean levels.
