Description

The project is committed to bringing together stakeholders with a significant potential and large interest for innovation and development. Regardless off differences in size and population, partner’s countries face common environmental challenges concerning resource limitations and vulnerability to climate change. The global maritime industry’s market has undergone disruptive changes over the past ten years which especially impacted European shipbuilding industry. The shipbuilding crisis requires the design of innovative solutions and development of new technologies. Our mission is to bring together members, interested in zero-emission vessels, and provide long-lasting and tailor-made solutions that should increase innovation ability across the EEA.

The aim of the project is to establish a sustainable and efficient network for the development of innovative zero-emission vessels. The transnational partnership will open up a wider market and help members of the ZEVinnovation HUB to enter the international supply chain. We facilitate supporting innovators, SMEs, ROs, clusters and other organisations. Our ambition is to contribute to the strengthening of the transnational eco-system through the implementation of pilot programs focusing on the collaborative development and market uptake of zero-emission vessels, while connecting the capacities of the EEA countries that have a strong maritime tradition and current pioneering initiatives.
