Nurturing the regional innovation ecosystem: What is on offer for companies? What are easy ways to improve existing support measures and increase their uptake?

The workshop will look into some of the existing support mechanisms and discuss how these facilitate success for startups in innovative blue sectors. The company perspective will also be taken into account, looking at what further support needs are most urgent. Participants will also be actively involved in responding to those needs and relay experiences that might be useful for startups and companies alike. Outstanding needs will be voiced and collected in the workshop’s summary to be included in the final priorities for the region.
