INTERREG ATLANTIC AREA Projects

MARINNONET - Transnational R&D&I cooperation network to foster the competitiveness and sustainability of the Blue Biotech sector in the Atlantic Area territory. 

Grant Agreement nº: EAPA_0017/2022

Project objective: The MARINNONET project will create a transnational R&D&I cooperation network to establish the mechanisms considered critical to foster market-driven Marine Biotechnology R&D&I activities and the uptake of their outputs, properly exploiting the distributed AA regional capacities. The aim is to boost the innovation capacity of the AA Blue

Biotech sector, while preserving the natural ecosystem of this territory, in line with its RSS strategies and contributing to its adaptation to climate change.

Project Summary: 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.

This project is co-financed by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme through the European Regional Development Fund.
