Specific
Challenge
The potential of
Europe’s Oceans, seas and coasts is significant for job and growth
creation if the appropriate investments in research and innovation
are made. SMEs contribution to the development of the 'Blue Growth
Strategy' (COM (2012) 494) can be significant in particular in the
fields of marine biotechnology, fisheries, marine and fresh water
aquaculture (including production and processing of feed and food).
However, one of the most important barriers for the development of
innovative maritime economic activities is the lack of access to
finance for SMEs to develop high-potential, but high-risk innovative
ideas and to bring them close to market. The SME instrument offers
financial support to SMEs with an EU dimension to put forward their
most innovative ideas in the previously mentioned maritime and
aquaculture/fisheries sectors with a particular focus on
close-to-market solutions and potential for high growth and
internationalisation.
