Blue Innovation and Growth in B.I.G Regions First results from mapping exercise B.I.G WG meeting, 13 h January 2016, Brussels Why ? To give opportunity to Members to valorize its assets, their potential and their initiatives in the field of blue growth-related innovation, which could be not known to European Institutions in Brussels To share useful information between WG Members for building consortia or making partnerships (H2020, COSME, INTERREG) To identify common priorities in Members strategies (RIS3, ESIF Ops, Regional schemes) To gather valuable information to Members but also European Institutions and other partners in order to support R&I topics in the field of Blue growth Participating Regions (10) COUNTRYREGION France Brittany Lower Normandy Pays de la Loire Poitou-Charentes GermanyFree Hanseatic City of Bremen ItalyFriuli-Venezia Giulia NorwaySouth Norway SpainGalicia UKCornwall PolandPomorskie Blue Growth in Regions Smart Specialization Strategies, ESIF programming and possible synergies Is blue growth included in your RIS3 as a dedicated area of specialization?

Obstacles, Challenges, Opportunities and Drivers for Blue growth Early stages of R&D still need to be supported in some specific sectors Keep a strong focus on later stages of the innovation process (Demonstration, prototyping and pre-industrialization) More involvement of the industry needed Technology transfer not well-covered Need to sustain cross-fertilization capabilities and innovation culture in Regions Need to face resistance to change and to help traditional models to innovate To provide continuum of funding Barriers in sustaining Blue Innovation to be addressed through European Programmes Obstacles, Challenges, Opportunities and Drivers for Blue growth Strengthen support to technology transfer to industry and Companies Specific support to start-ups Industry cooperation Innovation culture in SMEs Structuration of some specific industries, traditional or emerging (developing new business models, project support, scaling-up new sectors, developing innovation culture, globalization adjustment) Challenges to be addressed Need to involve Industry and companies and to support transformation of several economic sectors Obstacles, Challenges, Opportunities and Drivers for Blue growth Technology transfer : specific support to spin-offs Dissemination of innovation culture (e.g open innovation) and more dissemination and communication-oriented projects Promoting value chain approach Promoting multi-actor approach Sustaining cooperation between academia, companies, public sector and end users in projects How to better involve stakeholders in European Programmes Inclusive approach all along the value chain Horizon 2020 : consistence with Regional Strategies, missing parts and expectations Consistence of H2020 WPs with RIS3Areas of the programmes to be more blue- growth related BrittanyFunding opportunities for Blue growth too widely spread in too many Work Programmes. Lower Normandy Pays de la Loire Opportunities for Maritime industries (part of RIS3) too widely spread in too many Work Programmes. Poitou- Charentes BremenRenewable energy production, new vessel design, aquaculture (to come), sensor technology, robots, development of ocean observation platforms and the corresponding technology development Friuli-Venezia Giulia To increase and optimize synergies between the opportunities offered by Horizon 2020 and the other funds to achieve its strategic goals.
