The European network will hold an online event on 17 November to share the results of its 16 biotechnology initiatives, connect science and industry, and explore new opportunities for transregional cooperation
The innovation emerging from a project, along with the connections, knowledge and opportunities it generates, can continue to drive new solutions long after the project has ended. With this forward-looking perspective, MARINNONET will hold its final online event on Tuesday, 17 November, from 11:00 to 13:00 CET, under the title MARINNONET: Advancing blue biotechnology in the Atlantic area through a transregional European network. Those interested in attending can now register using the online form.
The event will bring together representatives from research, industry and the wider innovation ecosystem to share the main advances achieved by this transregional cooperation network, which connects stakeholders from Spain, France, Ireland and Portugal with the aim of strengthening blue biotechnology research, development and innovation (R&D&I) across the Atlantic Area.
From pilot projects to market opportunities
One of the highlights of the event will be the presentation of six pilot projects representing the 16 biotechnology initiatives developed within MARINNONET: Colorhynchus and MiTOXIN (BP1), ToMOSTFISH and AI-Biodiv (BP2), and POLYMEX and POLYSAL (BP3). This selection will showcase the scientific and technological advances achieved through the network’s different biotechnology platforms.
The programme will also bring an industry perspective, with contributions from MacroCarbon (Spain), Ínclita Seaweed Solutions (Portugal) and Nutrimara (Ireland). Their presentations will address industrial and commercial challenges, innovation opportunities and potential collaboration between businesses and research institutions, with a particular focus on the seaweed sector.
The event will also include a brief presentation of MARINNONET’s roadmap, the sustainability of the network and the project’s main results and achievements. The final event will therefore provide an opportunity to reflect on the work carried out and continue building bridges between research, innovation and the market, strengthening the connections that help turn scientific knowledge into new opportunities for the blue biotechnology sector.
