Working at #sea is very expensive and coastal areas are mostly difficult to reach. Excellent researchers and persistent entrepreneurs are working on both sides of the ocean to develop this blue economy. That is why #Webinar 3 of the Transatlantic project will investigate some of the funding opportunities that actually exist to support the work of researchers and entrepreneurs and their cooperation. Moreover, the webinar aims to valorise the results of the first mission to the province of Québecb(October 2024) and to feed the contents of the next mission to the region of Wales (May 2025).

[🔸EN⤵️] Le Québec est ravi d’avoir accueilli pour la première fois une mission multisectorielle de la Conférence des régions maritimes périphériques (CRPM), organisée grâce à l’excellent travail du Réseau Québec maritime - RQM et de la Technopole maritime du Québec. L’activité s’inscrivait dans le contexte du TRANSATLANTIC Project de la CRPM, qui vise à resserrer les liens entre les régions maritimes de l’Union européenne et hors-UE afin de favoriser les synergies et partenariats dans divers domaines liés à l’économie bleue.   Des représentants de diverses régions de France, d’Espagne, du Portugal et du Royaume-Uni (Pays de Galles) participaient à la visite qui a porté plus précisément sur la #décarbonation du transport maritime et des infrastructures portuaires, les #biotechnologies marines et le #tourisme côtier durable. Les rencontres et visites eurent lieu à Québec, Rimouski et Montréal.   📌 Le Québec s’implique activement dans le projet Transatlantic depuis son adhésion à la CRPM à titre de membre associé, en mai 2023.   ----   [🔸EN] Québec is delighted to have hosted for the first time a multi-sectoral mission of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR), organised thanks to the excellent work of Réseau Québec Maritime and the Technopole maritime du Québec.
