Summary of the results

The main aim of the initiative was to develop bilateral business relations of Polish and Norwegian companies in the marinas, ports and related blue growth technologies sectors. Due to the regulations preventing the pandemic transmission, PARP and Innovation Norway agreed to organise a webinar and online matchmaking on 8th December 2020 instead of an onsite event.

The webinar has been transmitted via Zoom application, 9.30 am - 12.45 pm. The representatives of PARP and Innovation Norway welcomed and introduced participants into the essence of bilateral cooperation. There were 5 presentations altogether delivered by 1 Norwegian, 1 Greek and 3 Polish speakers. Their focus was on perspectives for the industry, as well as on innovative solutions and technologies supporting the development of marinas and ports. 55 participants took part in the event, including 42 Polish companies and 13 other entities (6 Greek, 4 Croatian, 2 Norwegian and 1 Icelandic).

There were no major deviations from originally approved, the indicative formula for this initiative.
