DG MARE has identified smart specialisation strategies (S3) as a key tool to implement the Communication on Sustainable Blue Economy adopted in May 2021. Accordingly, in coordination with DG REGIO, DG MARE is setting up a smart specialization platform for sustainable blue economy and is organising a series of brokerage events to promote smart specialisation interregional partnerships and blue economy value chains. These events will support matchmaking activities in order to:
- facilitate blue economy stakeholders’ networking and exchange
- promote the definition of stakeholders’ complementarities and synergies in terms of interregional value chains/partnerships
- support exchange of potential partnership ideas and expression of interest
- share best practices and lessons learned on S3 interregional partnerships set up and implementation
The brokerage event on FISHERY will take place on 1 July 2022, 09:00 – 13:00 CET, in Brussels, at DG MARE premises.
