5 ocean projects and platforms working on biosolutions across 5 countries.
Germany · Aquaculture/Fisheries, Biosolutions, Waste/Pollution
Baltic MUPPETS is an EU-funded project developing new value chains for small Baltic Sea mussels through innovative low-trophic farming, harvesting and processing. By cultivating mussels it aims to reduce eutrophication and improve water quality while creating products such as mussel-based pet food and plant fertiliser; it is coordinated by the SUBMARINER Network with business cases in Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
Belgium · Generalist, Aquaculture/Fisheries, Biosolutions, Energy/Maritime, Data/Tech, Communities/Tourism, Waste/Pollution, Education/Policy
BlueInvest is an EU blue economy platform and technical assistance facility that helps ocean-focused SMEs and scale-ups improve investment readiness and access finance. It provides coaching, networking, investor capacity-building, events, reports, and a project pipeline across multiple blue economy sectors.
Spain · Biosolutions, Corals/Biodiversity
Bluetools is an EU Horizon Europe-funded research project that explores marine microbiomes to develop biotechnological tools for ocean conservation and the blue bioeconomy.
Ireland · Seaweeds/Algae, Biosolutions, Data/Tech
COMBO is a marine biodiscovery project developing sustainable alternatives for the exploitation of marine bioresources, with applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It studies seaweeds, sponges and associated microbiota, and develops cultivation and bioinformatics tools for marine organism research.
Portugal · Aquaculture/Fisheries, Biosolutions
SUShI is a research project at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) developing insect-based protein (Black Soldier Fly and coastal insects) as a sustainable alternative to fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture feed. It uses a circular-economy approach to reduce aquaculture's dependence on wild fisheries while preserving the nutritional quality of farmed-fish diets.
