“Green Growth through the capitalization of innovative Greenhouses”
Brief description:
The project will capitalize results of other EU successful projects by promoting, disseminating & transferring innovative Greenhouses in the MED area, minimizing water & energy demand. The project will stimulate environmental awareness on issues related to energy & water efficiency & sustainable production, contributing to Green Growth & promoting sustainable development.
Objectives:
- Improve eco-innovation capacities of public & private actors in the greenhouse/agriculture sector through stronger transnational cooperation, knowledge transfer & better networks between research bodies, businesses, public authorities & civil societies.
- Improve the existing innovation framework conditions on the MED agricultural sector.
- Strengthen & empower innovation clusters & networks in the field of agriculture/greenhouse production.
Project Main Results:
- Develop, promote & integrate policy Recommendations (favouring cooperation between actors of the 4helix) in local & regional planning in order to boost eco-innovative greenhouses at transnational level.
- Establish an Agricultural Innovative Cluster in the MED area creating synergies & cooperation mechanisms between the actors of the 4helix of the agricultural/greenhouse sector.
- Increase the capacity building of the members (actors of the 4helix) of the innovative cluster through knowledge transfer, training courses (seminars, webinars), training platform.
