MARIBE has organized a closing event to disseminate project findings which will be held in Cork, Ireland, end of August.
The closing event, which coincides with the end of the project, will include presentations on the outcomes of the contextual study of Blue Growth sectors comprising a socio-economic study as well as analysis of investment and business models that existed within these sectors, and also the technical and non-technical challenges faced within them.
Industry stakeholders will also present their multi-use of space and multi-purpose platform projects.
MARIBE partners have worked with industry stakeholders to develop 9 multi-use of space or multi-purpose platform projects, applying a business incubator approach. This involved developing a business case for each project comprising risk assessment, business plan and detailed financials.
This business case equips stakeholders to approach investors or pursue European Commission funding for the next stage of development, according to MARIBE.
The event will be held on August 30-31, 2016.
MARIBE is a Horizon 2020 project that aims to unlock the potential of multi-use of space in the offshore economy, also referred to as Blue Economy.
The project is coordinated by University College Cork’s Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI).
