The second BLUE_BOOST Blue Scenario Workshop of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region was organized on 22 February 2019 in Monfalcone, at the headquarters of MARE Technology Cluster FVG. The event focused on maritime transport and more specifically addressed the topic of Sustainable mobility in coastal and inland waters.
The Workshop touched upon issues such as eco-design, electric propulsion and dual fuel, and gathered representatives from Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and research institutions active in traditional and emerging sectors of Blue Economy in Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region. With the support of expert speakers representing both innovative companies and research stakeholders (Navalprogetti, University of Trieste, Cluster Lombardo Mobilità, and Repower Italia), participants had the chance to discuss about the state-of-the-art and future solutions for more sustainable maritime transport.
This thematic event allowed for presenting the overall opportunities for Blue MSMEs provided by the BLUE_BOOST project, especially regarding the upcoming transnational Call for innovation vouchers that will allow for co-developing innovation projects in the amount of 10.000€ with Innovators and Knowledge Providers (RD&I bodies and “new innovation agents”, such as fablabs, co-working spaces, living labs, innovation hubs, etc.).
The workshop was organized in cooperation by MARE Technology Cluster FVG, ARIES and the CEI-Executive Secretariat.
