Are you a Blue Economy professional and aspiring Maritime Cluster Manager looking to stay ahead in the dynamic world of the Blue Economy sector in the Mediterranean region? Look no further! 🚢

Introducing the “LEARNING LABS FOR EMERGING MARITIME CLUSTERS” workshop organized in the frame of CallMeBLUE (Cluster Alliance MED Blue), an EMFAF-2023-PIA-FLAGSHIP project co-funded by the European Union aiming to strengthen existing cluster alliances in the Mediterranean area and to accelerate north-south regional cooperation towards the emerging of strategic maritime clusters in North Africa.

This FREE “Learning Labs Workshop is addressed to future maritime cluster actors to be prepared on the legal, structural, administrative and management aspects for a concrete creation of future maritime clusters. It aims to educate a group of professionals who could lead the establishment and management of maritime clusters in the Mediterranean region.

• One of the main benefits of participating in this “Learning Lab” is the introduction to the Mediterranean maritime cluster ecosystem. Maritime Cluster Alliances have proven that working as a sea basin community can enhance the success of complex networking processes, as in the case of the creation of maritime clusters in Mauritania, Libya, the definitive scale-up in Algeria and the support of the ongoing process in Morocco.
• To this end, it is important to encourage those interested in animating their regions, from a social and economic point of view, to analyze the economic strengths of their regions and to bring together through the maritime cluster all the factors capable of playing a role in this ecosystem, its cross-sectoral dynamics, the dialogue with local and national institutions, emphasizing the specific dimension/purpose of the region.

An outline of the content of the online Learning Labs is:

·         Session-01: What is a Cluster – The role clusters can play in the Blue Economy

·         Session-02: How is a Cluster structurally, administratively and legally set up: Legal and financial aspects to establish a cluster in the Maghreb region

·         Session-03: Cluster Cooperation in the Maghreb region

·         Session-04: Leadership and Management skills for Blue Cluster Managers

·         Session-05: The practical aspects of cluster management - presenting specific Cluster Organizations

The calendar of sessions will be announced soon.
