What is the Blue Growth Community?
Funded by the EU’s Interreg MED program, the blue growth community has been running for six years in the Euro-Mediterranean region and aims to:
- Assist and coordinate MED Blue Growth projects in their capitalization activities with the aim of promoting the transfer of their results and “tools” in policymaking and their uptake by multi-level stakeholders (e.g. regions, SMEs, researchers, etc.)
- To foster sustainable development of the blue economy throughentrepreneurship and mainly SMEs.
In order to mobilize this broad community, the BGC has organisedstakeholder events, trainings, peer reviews, policy recommendations papersand supported the transfer and capitalization of the most innovative tools developed by the MED Blue Growth Projects.
