Od 7. do 9. listopada 2025. partnerske organizacije projekta BLUNEW, sufinanciranog kroz Interreg IPA Adrion program, okupile su se u Thessalonikiju (Grčka) na trećem transnacionalnom projektnom sastanku (TPM3).
Domaćin sastanka bio je grčki partner ENVOLVE, koji je organizirao tri dana posvećena suradnji, razmjeni znanja i strateškom planiranju s ciljem poticanja održivih inovacija u području plavog gospodarstva.
Tijekom sastanka partneri su:
- analizirali dosadašnji napredak projekta i planirali sljedeće korake,
- predstavili ažuriranja Komunikacijskog plana i aktivnosti podizanja svijesti,
- sudjelovali u događaju s lokalnim dionicima, koji je potaknuo dijalog i suradnju među relevantnim akterima,
- te raspravljali o daljnjem razvoju Strategije Water Smart Territories, važnom koraku za jačanje održive, prekogranične suradnje u jadransko-jonskoj regiji.
Poseban naglasak stavljen je na aktivnost 2.2 – „Definicija višerazinske transnacionalne suradnje za teritorijalne inovacije u Jadransko-jonskom području”, koju je predstavila MARA kao koordinator aktivnosti. Ova prezentacija označila je početak važnog procesa uspostave mreže partnera i inovacijskih dionika unutar regije.
Osim toga, posebnu pozornost izazvala je i aktivnost 3.1 – Pilot akcija, koju je vodio SerenDPT, usmjerena na testiranje inkubacijskih i potpornih usluga za inovativne poduzetničke inicijative u plavom gospodarstvu.
Na završnom danu partneri su sudjelovali u studijskom posjetu i susretima s lokalnim dionicima, čime je dodatno ojačana povezanost projekta s regionalnim inovacijskim ekosustavom.
Veliko hvala domaćinu na gostoprimstvu te svim partnerima na inspirativnim doprinosima. Zajedno gradimo pametniju, održiviju plavu budućnost!

Special emphasis was placed on Activity 2.2 – “Definition of multi-level transnational cooperation for territorial innovation in the Adriatic-Ionian region”, presented by MARA as the coordinator of the activity. This presentation marked the beginning of an important process of establishing a network of partners and innovation stakeholders within the region.
