Algae as an exceptional catalyst
for sustainable transformation

Led by the University of Vigo and supported by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme, the MARINNONET Project is turning algae research into practical, sustainable solutions through six pilot initiatives linking researchers, businesses, and innovation partners. Recognised as strategic renewable marine resources, algae support Europe’s climate neutrality and circular bioeconomy ambitions. They grow without freshwater or arable land and offer applications in aquaculture, carbon capture, biomaterials, cosmetics, and alternatives to chemicals.

Local innovation roadmaps
for the fisheries ecosystem

Supported by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme, the FISHINN Project is advancing local innovation roadmaps across four Atlantic pilot areas: Lea-Artibai, Cornouaille Saint-Guénolé-Penmarc’h, Sines, and County Kerry. Presented at the FISHINN Transnational Innovation Forum in Brittany, the roadmaps promote stronger fisheries value chains, innovation, skills development, and collaboration. Initiatives include seafood product innovation, blue economy hubs, fishing tourism, startup support, and improving commercial opportunities and talent attraction within coastal fisheries communities.
