Relevance of maritime clusters for a sustainable blue economy
Maritime clusters play an essential role as brokers between EU regions and neighbouring countries in the Mediterranean.
They are essential actors in aggregating local SMEs and large companies across a range of sectors in the blue economy, including through synergies with enterprises involved in in-land activities across complex value chains.
Raising the critical mass: potentials for setting up a proper alliance
The western Mediterranean has a wide number of maritime clusters active in coastal areas, with strong emerging practices across the southern shore.
A clear opportunity exists for the WestMED Initiative to support a stronger alliance across the most active Maritime Clusters in the western Mediterranean, and beyond.
