As part of the workshop “From Offer and Needs to Proof of Concept: Co-creating the Future of Blue Technologies”, organized by the Innovation Fund, the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro will present the RECONNECT project – Creative Crafts for Industrial Symbiosis in the Blue Economy Sectors
The fisheries and aquaculture sectors face significant environmental challenges, including overexploitation of resources, pollution, and large amounts of waste, especially plastics.
The RECONNECT project aims to strengthen sustainability and the circular economy in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors across the Mediterranean region. It brings together nine partner institutions from six Mediterranean countries, with the goal of fostering cooperation between industry, small and medium-sized enterprises, research institutions, and other actors in the blue economy.
Join us on 26 March at Hotel Ramada to learn how the project addresses these challenges by developing solutions which transform waste from these sectors into high-value bio-products, supported by innovation and AI-based tools.
The workshop, organized under the INNOVABLUE and ROBONETCBC projects, will gather representatives from the public sector, academia, NGOs, and technology companies to identify key challenges and develop initial innovative concepts for improving the monitoring and protection of marine and freshwater ecosystems.
Current news and updates on the RECONNECT project are available at the official website: https://reconnect.interreg-euro-med.eu/news/.
“The RECONNECT project represents an important step in strengthening cooperation and connecting key stakeholders in the Mediterranean blue economy, with the Chamber of Economy playing an active role in fostering cooperation and supporting innovative solutions in the sector. “
