Total budget: 1,4 M€

The Project

MedBAN – Mediterranean Blue Acceleration Network will mobilize the EU blue economy SMEs to adopt processes and technologies for a greener, more digital and more resilient economy. It will manage two open call schemes to fund a set of services for SMEs on innovation, training, twin transformation and internationalisation issues.

Euroclusters Initiative

MedBAN integrates the Euroclusters’ Initiative and is closely aligned with its specific objectives on networks, innovation, adoption of processes and technologies for the green and digital transition, training for the up and re-skilling of the workforce and internationalization of EU SMEs. It aims to reinforce the EU New Industrial Strategy.

Open Calls for SMEs

MedBAN will deploy two simultaneous but separate open calls for SMEs, thereby awarding vouchers that will fund two different sets of services: one for innovation, training and twin transformation of businesses and one for internationalisation actions. The services will be provided by a bank of suppliers that expert entities could integrate. The publication of the calls is previewed for late March 2023. The link for the platform that will host all the information on this funding scheme (for applicants and suppliers) will be available soon.

Our partners

The project consortium comprises six cluster organisations from PortugalSpainFranceItaly and Greece.
