Project Summary
The 1st call project’s aim was to support the innovation development of SMEs and RTO in the ADRION region. Partners from the 8 countries in the region participated in the project. The support offered by the project came in the form of training and 1-1 support for IP management and access-to-finance. In total 307 SMEs were trained or have been offered 1-1 support, 86 proposals for collaboration are available online on the project’s showroom, more than 200 professionals from 107 intermediary (innovation support) organizations were trained, and 40 hours of training material is available online on the project’s platform.
The aim of the proposed follow-up Project is twofold. Firstly, we plan to further enhance the already delivered outputs and reaching results of the 1st call SHIPMENTT Project. In particular, the implementation of up to 2 pilot actions per partner in virtual meeans for addressing the COVID-19 situation (dedicated workshops and/or 1:1 support), are foreseen in this proposed follow-up project. Complementary to the implementing activities, the Communication activities of the follow-up Project will include the organization of 1 public event per country of beneficiary for Increasing awareness among potential beneficiaries, stakeholders and interested institutions on the role of European Territorial Cooperation, as well as for promoting the practical use, relevance and transferability of the project platform. In addition, the organization of 1 meeting addressed to potential partners of future projects is also foreseen, in order to provide first-hand information on managing and implementing European projects. Networking activites, such as participation in relavant events/meetings, are also foreseen in the framework of the Communication WP. The efficient outreach of the activities described above, will be accomplished via online dissemination and interaction though social media channels.

Project Summary
The SHIPMENTT project aims at establishing an innovation ecosystem focused on the green sea mobility sector (reffered partially as green shipping in EUSAIR) across the ADRION area. In the medium-term, the aim is to enhance the investments in regional R&D and increase the competitiveness of the local SMEs.
Today, the innovation activity in the region is fragmented and confined to the national borders allowing limited space for regional cooperation and economic growth. SHIPMENTT will establish a network of cooperating parties with a clear plan to shape the necessary conditions for a fruitful blue growth innovation ecosystem in the spirit of transnational cooperation. Hence, the project features partners from all 8 countries of the ADRION area. The project main outputs will be:
1. Direct 1:1 support on a) IP management and b) access to finance to 250 SMEs: to improve their chances of collborating with research institutions and attracting financial resources [short-term impact]
2. Facilitatiοn of industry-academia collaboration for 50 SMEs: via the SHIPMENTT platform [medium-term impact]
3. An all-inclusive strategy: for the development of a regional innovation ecosystem fuelled by blue-technologies in the green sea mobility field [long term impact]
The project will a) design or improve tools in the IP/access2finance space, b) implement them in a pilot environment (e.g. 1:1 support and an online showroom), c) extract conclusions about the effectiveness of their use in the region’s socio-economic and cultural context, and d) formulate a strategy for the long-term development of innovation conditions in the region.
The project presents two novelties:
1. focuses on the green sea mobility sector that has received little attention so far internationally
2. leverages on two critical elements of business strategy and innovation management: a) Access to finance and b) IP protection and exploitation - we anticipate great returns as these elements are interrelated and jointly considered in practically all businesses today.
