The project was based on previous energy cooperation in the North-West region of Russia, funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project's target group included municipal energy companies, energy efficiency centers, small and medium-sized businesses, business associations, chambers of Commerce, universities and colleges, cluster development support centers, and innovation and technology parks.
The aim of the project was to assess the opportunities and determine the potential for the development of blue bioeconomics in the Kaliningrad region by sharing knowledge, experience and best practices with partners from the Nordic countries. Special attention in the project was paid to five sectors of the blue Bioeconomy: sustainable coastal aquaculture (mainly fish farming) and aquaponics, as well as mussel farming, cane harvesting and use, algae cultivation and use, and coastal fishing.
