Cross-border and Cross-sectoral collaboration to support SMEs and the development of innovative products, processes or services for Green Offshore Production and Transport

Project description

SME support to green offshore production and transport

Offshore production and transport should be green, clean, sustainable, and smart. This is the vision of the EU-funded GreenOffshoreTech project. It aims to develop innovative products, processes or services for green offshore production and transport towards a resource-efficient Blue Economy, adopting EU’s Green Deal. The project will establish a framework for cross-sectoral and trans-national collaboration between SMEs, clusters and regions. It will support at least 100 SMEs and 100 innovative SME projects aimed at developing new innovative products, processes or services. Firstly, it will support innovation directly for SMEs through financial support and a range of Business Support Services. Secondly, GreenOffshoreTech will create a platform to facilitate cooperation between clusters and SMEs.

Objective

GreenOffshoreTech aims to support innovation in SMEs and fostering the development of the emerging Blue Economy industries by enabling the emergence of new cross-sectorial and cross-border value chains based on shared challenges and the deployment of key enabling technologies. This will result from the translation of advanced technologies among 8 sectors with strong synergies: offshore wind and other marine renewable energies, offshore and marine aquaculture, offshore oil & gas and waterborne transport, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and environmental technologies.
GreenOffshoreTech will facilitate the creation of new products, processes or services with the ambition to make offshore production and transport greener, cleaner and modern towards a resource-efficient economy and EUs Green Deal.
GreenOffshoreTech’s consortium will provide a structured framework to implement this innovation action and undertake two kind of activities to support innovation to SMEs directly:
1) Direct financial support to SMEs through a competitive Call of Proposal for innovation projects in relevant topics; and
2) A range of dedicated and tailored Business Support Services to the winner SMEs.
In addition, GreenOffshoreTech's consortium will establish an open space, with a mixture of virtual and physical tools, to connect and facilitate collaboration of clusters and SMEs across sectors, regions and countries during and beyond the project.
GreenOffshoreTech will support at least 82 SMEs and 82 SMEs innovation projects targeting to develop new innovative products, processes or services.
GreenOffshoreTech is a cluster-facilitated project, bringing together 9 of Europe’s leading clusters and SME intermediaries from 15 regions and 7 countries: Norway, Portugal, Latvia, Poland, Iceland, UK (Scotland), Germany. In addition, 1 RTD and 2 SMEs as inter-cluster experts to support the project implementation.
The GreenOffshoreTech is highly linked to Regional Smart Specialization Strategies and S3 partnerships.
