The overall objective of
SMART ADRIA Blue Growth is to strengthen cross-border cooperation and
competitiveness of SMEs, by enhancing the business environment for Blue Growth
market opportunities. The project will develop a Quadruple-Helix strategy in
the Programme area, by fostering the innovation transfer from applied research
to SMEs, with the support of policy makers and civil society. As a result, Blue
Growth services will be promoted through SMEs development and capacity building
actions, and a Blue Growth Cluster will be established in the Adriatic-Ionian
region, with three virtual Blue Labs in Italy, Albania and Montenegro,
supporting commercial exploitation, testing and piloting of innovative products
and services.
