The Black Sea Accelerator is a comprehensive program aimed at fostering sustainable, innovative solutions within the Blue Economy across the Black Sea region. This initiative, jointly promoted by the BRIDGE-BS and DOORS projects, seeks to transform scientific research into actionable business opportunities, providing participants with valuable market insights, business model development, pitching support, and matchmaking services with potential investors.
The accelerator covers a wide range of sectors related to the Blue Economy, such as ocean observation, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, renewable marine energy, blue biotechnology, green port activities, and innovative tourism solutions. By offering mentorship, capacity-building sessions, and access to funding, the Black Sea Accelerator helps both regional and international startups and SMEs to scale their innovative ideas and business models in the Black Sea region.
Digital Village had the privilege to be part of this transformative journey, gaining insights and skills that will enable our startup to make a meaningful impact on the Blue Economy. The program empowers participants with crucial tools for market analysis, customer understanding, and the testing of innovative solutions. We are excited to showcase our journey and the project at the High-Tech Summit in Sofia on October 16, 2024, where innovative ideas from the Black Sea region will be presented.
