FISHINN

A successful Local Innovation Forum hosted by our Irish partner from Munster Technological University! 🌊 After fruitful Local Innovation Forums in Spain (Leartibai Fundazioa) and France (Technopole Quimper-Cornouaille & Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique), it was Ireland's turn to host this event as part of the #FISHINN project. 📆On 5th December, from 10 am to 1 pm, a diverse group of representatives from local government, the county council, enterprises, cooperatives, fishers, vessel owners, and stakeholders in blue tourism and the blue economy gathered to discuss the challenges, resources, and opportunities within Ireland’s fisheries ecosystem and value chain. This Local Innovation Forum was the occasion to foster collaboration between stakeholders while preparing for an upcoming field trip to Quimper, Brittany. 🚢✨ 👉 The response was overwhelmingly positive, with 12 delegates already signed up for the visit! Moreover, our Irish partner is exploring future funding opportunities to launch small-scale projects inspired by best practices from European partners, focusing on: ✅ Sustainable tourism ✅ Digitalisation and innovation ✅ Product processing and diversification ✅ Blue biotechnology ✅ Circular economy Delegates expressed strong interest in learning how other regions manage marine protected areas, ocean health, and species conservation. 🌍🐟 This initiative highlights the significance of collaboration in building resilient, innovative, and sustainable blue economies across Europe. 💙 #BlueInnovation #BlueEconomy #FISHINN #Collaboration #Brittany

Sines Tecnopolo visita Irlanda para conhecer novos ecossistemas de pesca local O projeto FISHINN levou o Sines Tecnopolo até ao Condado de Kerry na República da Irlanda, onde teve a oportunidade de visitar o ecossistema pesqueiro dos portos de Dingle, Portmagee e Fenit , que é um dos 4 ecossistemas pesqueiros do Projeto FISHINN. Esta visita teve como objetivo reforçar a colaboração entre as regiões do Projeto, de forma a poder incrementar a inovação em cada um dos territórios. No primeiro dia, o roteiro iniciou em Dingle, com passagem pelo Oceanworld Aquarium e de seguida pelo porto de lazer e pesca, onde visitou-se uma fábrica de processamento de pescado, a Quinlan’s Kerry Fish, e uma empresa de produção de ostras e de captura de salmão, a Cromane Bay Shellfish. No segundo dia, a cidade de Tralee recebeu a equipa do projeto para visitar a BioAtlantis, uma empresa de transformação de algas em compostos naturais, extraídos de recursos marinhos e terrestres renováveis, para reduzir o stress nas culturas, animais e seres humanos, fortalecendo os sistemas de defesa natural. No final, realizou-se uma reunião de acompanhamento e planeamento do projeto na Munster Technological University, com a participação dos parceiros. O FISHINN é um projeto de Cooperação Europeia financiado no âmbito do Programa Interreg Atlantic Area, que visa aumentar a competitividade e a resiliência dos vários ecossistemas e cadeias de valor da pesca local no Espaço Atlântico, que nos últimos anos tem enfrentado um declínio, reforçando a colaboração e as capacidades de inovação dos atores locais. que tem como principal o setor pesqueiro local. O projeto reúne os seguintes parceiros: a Leartibai Fundazioa do País Basco - Espanha, o Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique, o Technopole Quimper-Cornouaille de França, o Sines Tecnopolo e a Munster Technological University da República da Irlanda. #fishinn #interreg #atlanticarea #atlantic #ecossistemapesqueiro #alentejolitoral #sustentabilidade #economia #roteirosdeinovação #irlanda
