RELEVANT NATIONAL EVENTS
 

Both the PELAGOS and MAESTRALE Interreg Projects (both already presented in the 2017 Report, https://pelagos.interreg-med.eu/, https://maestrale.interreg-med.eu/) implemented pilot actions at both regional, national and transnational level, aimed at easing the involvement of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the marine energy sector and at developing a strategy for the deployment of maritime energy in the Mediterranean area.
 
In particular, PELAGOS organized:
  • a Capacity Building Workshop entitled “Energie Rinnovabili Marine: Progresso tecnologico, prospettive e trend nel mercato delle tecnologie pulite” (“Marine Renewables: technological progress, perspectives and trends in the market of green technologies), which was held in Rome, 17 April 17 (http://www.enea.it/it/seguici/events/pelagos_17apr2018/energie-rinnovabili-marine);
     
  • a workshop on the environmental impacts of marine renewables and on  marine spatial planning, coastal zone management social acceptance, entitled “Energie rinnovabili marine: Innovazione tecnologica e protezione dell’ambiente nell’ambito della pianificazione dello spazio marittimo per un uso complessivamente sostenibile delle risorse marine“ (“Marine Renewables: technological innovation, and environmental protection in the framework of Marine Spatial Planning for an sustainable overall use of resources), held in Rome on 5 October; 
     
  • an international B2B Event for enterprises active in the sector of marine renewables (“Match-making Blue Energy actors”, https://pelagos-2018.b2match.io/page-2401).
 
In addition, the Blue Energy Cluster Web Platform (http://be-cluster.eu/) has been launched, aiming to provide continuous and sustained support to organizations and enterprises that are active in the field of marine renewables or intend to explore the opportunities it offers.
