Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
The Blue Biotechnology (BBt) sector can have a significant impact on the environment, human
wellbeing and economic growth, however in the Mediterranean basin it is currently in its infancy. B-
BLUE project has built a preliminary network of actors related to BBt and analyzed best practices, key
drivers, barriers and readiness factors of EuroMed companies for adopting blue biotechnologies,
concluding with the most promising value chains for EuroMed area. The project allowed the
establishment of 5 interactive Blue Biotechnology Hubs (BHHs) to facilitate collaborations,
knowledge transfer and spill-over effects to spur innovation and business within the marine
biotechnology value chains and address the challenges detected. At once, a digital community has
been developed, using an ICT tool called B-Blue MatchMaking Tool, to support new joint initiatives.
Moreover, the MedIA - Mediterranean Innovation Alliance for Sustainable BlueBioeconomy - has been
set-up in collaboration with Blue Bio Med and 2 specific collaborative working groups on BBt. 2B-
BLUE aims to capitalize on B-Blue positive results to: 1) Exemplify evidence-based best practices
identified to help communities turn BBt research into practice, 2)Build national demonstration sites
(DS) to experiment emerging technologies or practices in local field conditions and bridge the gap
among BBt research and industry for new technologies adaptation while help improve marine
environment, 3) Establish strategic alliances of 5-helix stakeholders for the uptake of advanced blue
biotechnologies by Med industries and 4)improve regional policies for enhancing sustainability,
research and innovation capacities in Euro-Med area. Thus, the main challenges detected in the B-
Blue work - most related to funding, normative and public and private collaboration- can be
transformed into opportunities in 2B-Blue and result in more sustainable and efficient practices as
well as better structuring of the BBt sector in the Mediterranean.
