About section
About
The project DIH Innovamare is a cross-border initiative aimed at fostering innovation and sustainability in the Adriatic Sea region. It addresses key challenges such as the lack of cooperation between the innovation ecosystems of neighboring countries, limited access to funding for innovative projects, and the gap between the development of innovative solutions and their practical application.
DIH Innovamare operates as a Digital Innovation Hub, serving as a platform for the efficient transfer of knowledge, expertise, and resources among stakeholders in the region. It promotes a co-creation ecosystem, allowing innovation players to collaborate, grow, and share their experiences effectively.
The project adopts a mission-oriented approach, focusing on addressing specific societal challenges rather than individual sectors. In this case, the focus is on marine technology innovation to promote sustainability in the Adriatic Sea.
DIH Innovamare builds upon the achievements of the strategic project Innovamare and expands the cross-border innovation ecosystem by involving new stakeholders, particularly young researchers. It implements pilot actions to showcase technology transfer, provides educational modules to enhance innovation capacities, and works on developing new funding instruments for the blue economy.
