EMPORIA4KT - Project
The Blue Economy represents all economic activities related to oceans, seas and coastal areas and includes industries such as fishing, shipbuilding, tourism and ocean energy. This growing sector is hugely important to Europe, and currently provides jobs for nearly 3.5 million people. Improving transnational cooperation and synergies between triple helix players (academia, industry and policymakers) is essential to foster innovation and competitiveness in the Atlantic Area’s Blue Economy. The challenge is that Early Stage Technologies (EST) developed by academia often do not reach the market. By focusing on upgrading academia skills for knowledge transfer (KT) and innovation, sustainable growth in the Atlantic Area can be achieved.
