Summary

The nautical industry offers a significant potential for job creation and is a vector for economic development and wealth for the Atlantic Area territories. The marine leisure industry is worth EUR 8.9Bn and employs 85,000 people across the Atlantic Area.
The CAPITEN project has 2 goals:
- to promote economic development and jobs by enhancing the local natural and cultural heritage;
- to create an industry cluster to organise its concerted development and promote the emergence of innovative products and services, bolstering the attractiveness of the destination resorts and well-being of the local residents, as well as attracting a new tourist clientele.
CAPITEN aims to organise the sector on 3 interdependent and complementary hubs of excellence that form a virtuous circle: i) tourism, water sports and coastal activities, ii) industry, services, trade, iii) sailing and ports.
After a study on the ground among professionals of the sector, partners proposed a concrete actions' plan to increase the attractiveness of the Atlantic regions and draw new customers.
This cluster will strengthen cooperation between the Atlantic regions towards a common service offer enhancing the blue growth in this area.
