We are pleased to invite you to participate in a study visit to leading stakeholders in the blue economy sector, organized within the framework of the DIH InnovaMare and MareSkill projects, co-financed by the Interreg Italy-Croatia 2021–2027 Programme. The study visit is organized by the Union Camere del Veneto, project partner of the DIH InnovaMare project, in collaboration with the MareSkill project partner, the University of Trieste. The initiative aims to strengthen cooperation between the business sector, research institutions, and public stakeholders, fostering innovation, sustainability, and knowledge exchange in the field of marine technologies and the blue economy.
A joint Study Visit within the Interreg projects DIH InnovaMare and MareSkill will take place on May 27, 2026, in Monfalcone, Italy.
The visit will focus on maritime innovation in the region, with particular emphasis on port operations and advanced nautical manufacturing.
