MARINNONET Project

MARINNONET is a joint initiative of key actors of the quadruple helix of Canarias, Galicia, and País Vasco (ES), Bretagne (FR), Northern & Western and Southern (IE), Norte and Centro (PT), dedicated to Marine Biotechnology R&D&I. It aims at jointly exploiting their complementary competences and capacities to the common benefit of the blue innovation ecosystems of the Atlantic Area (AA), to ensure their competitiveness in the European and global Blue Economy, and the sustainable use of marine resources, contributing to the adaptation to climate change. The new transnational R&D&I cooperation network will enable to boost the innovation capacity of the AA Blue Biotech sector, by implementing the conditions for widely participative open innovation practices and market-driven R&D&I activities involving the innovators and innovation facilitators. Pilot actions and projects will showcase the diverse and impactful Blue Biotech innovation pathways that the new network is able to stimulate. Start Date: 1/12/2023; End Date: 30/11/2026 This project is co-financed by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme through the European Regional Development Fund
