SMART BLUE: Network of regional marine-maritime clusters for the competitiveness of blue economy SMEs

In the field of the blue economy, there are endless opportunities for development in consolidated maritime sub-sectors such as fisheries, maritime transport and ports, or in emerging ones such as maritime tourism (sailing and cruises), aquaculture or marine biotechnology, as set out in the European Blue Growth strategy.

In this line, the SMART BLUE ATLANTIC project will develop network promotion activities and support services in innovation and internationalisation focused on the figure of regional maritime clusters and aimed at SMEs in the blue economy of the MAC cooperation area. This will result in an increase in critical mass and capacity that generates economies of scale in fabrics dominated by small companies that help to undertake innovation processes and access to other markets in a joint manner that offers greater results than doing it individually.
