We are looking for challenges that realise products, processes, technologies and solutions to improve the circularity, reusability or sustainability of a company - or those that address wider challenges or opportunities in the Baltic Blue Bioeconomy. Possible themes could include:
The SUBMARINER Network is organising the first-ever Baltic Blue Bioeconomy Hackathon to collect innovative and creative ideas to promote, accelerate and shape the future of the Blue Bioeconomy in the Baltic Sea Region. We are inviting Baltic Blue Bioeconomy companies and institutes to present challenges to multi-disciplinary teams of students from our SUBMARINER members => these teams will be given 48h to present possible solutions to these challenges in a creative environment. The teams will be judged by a panel of experts on a range of indicators, including creativity, possibility for implementation and consideration of whole value chains.
