Blue Biotechnology is a key enabling technology for sustainable blue growth. Although considerable advances have been made in the sector in recent years, development of market-ready blue biotechnology products and services still needs viable transnational and transdisciplinary cooperation along the entire value chain, from R&D to marketing. The aim of this report is to show the future steps considered necessary to further support and accelerate blue biotechnology product development in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR), based on evidence provided by three years of cooperation within the Interreg BSR project Baltic Blue Biotechnology Alliance (Alliance). It contributes to setting the future research agenda as well as outlining the need for a permanent support structure.
