SMARTDEC
ProjeCt
Smart Clusters for Maritime Decarbonisation
Programme
Interreg Atlantic Area - a programme designed to promote transnational cooperation in the 36 Atlantic regions.
PartnERSHIP
This project is overseen by Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique.
DURATION
36 months (2024-2026)
Budget
2M€
PROJECT SUMMARY
SMARTDEC aims to create and develop an Atlantic network of the maritime transport sector to provide the tools, knowledge and structure needed to rapidly meet the challenge of reducing the pollutant emissions of the waterborne transportation in the Atlantic Area (AA). This joint initiative gathers key actors from different regions in Ireland, France, Portugal & Spain that will be organised as hubs with a quadruple helix approach in which research & academia, policy makers, society and the industry (clusters, SMEs & start-ups) will collaborate to develop common strategies to achieve the decarbonisation of the maritime transport sector. Even if some initiatives are being developed world-wide on this, there is still a lack of a well-structured initiative in the AA.
SMARTDEC will boost the innovation capacity of decarbonisation of the maritime transport sector by promoting the adoption of promising technological solutions currently available and validated to match with relevant end-users.
ObjectiVEs
SMARTDEC aims to create and develop an Atlantic maritime sector network to provide the tools, knowledge and structure needed to stimulate innovation capacity for the decarbonisation of ships and ports by promoting the uptake of promising technological solutions on the European Atlantic coast.
CLUSTER'S ROLE
PMBA will coordinate the overall SMARTEC project, it will ensure the management and collaboration of all partners in the various project actions. Concerning the concrete implementation of actions, PMBA will focus on the implementation of the Atlantic network for maritime decarbonisation.
