Abstract：
Marine (blue) biotechnology is an emerging field enabling the valorization of new products and processes with massive potential for innovation and economic growth. In the Mediterranean region, this innovation potential is not exploited as well as in other European regions due to a lack of a clear identification of the different value chains and the high fragmentation of business innovation initiatives. As a result, several opportunities to create an innovative society are being missed. To address this problem, eight Northern Mediterranean countries (Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain) established five national blue biotechnology hubs to identify and address the bottlenecks that prevent the development of marine biotechnology in the region. Following a three-step approach (1. Analysis: setting the scene; 2. Transfer: identification of promising value chains; 3. Capitalization: community creation), we identified the three value chains that are most promising for the Northern Mediterranean region: algae production for added-value compounds, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) and valorization aquaculture/fisheries/processing by-products, unavoidable/unwanted catches and discards. The potential for the development and the technical and non-technical skills that are necessary to advance in this exciting field were identified through several stakeholder events which provided valuable insight and feedback that should be addressed for marine biotechnology in the Northern Mediterranean region to reach its full potential.
摘要：
海洋（蓝色）生物技术是一个新兴领域，能够使具有巨大创新和经济增长潜力的新产品和工艺增值。在地中海地区,由于缺乏对不同价值链的明确识别以及业务创新计划的高度分散，这种创新潜力在其他欧洲地区没有得到充分利用。因此,创造创新社会的几个机会正在被错过。为了解决这个问题,北地中海八个国家(克罗地亚，法国,希腊,意大利,黑山,葡萄牙,斯洛文尼亚和西班牙）建立了五个国家蓝色生物技术中心，以确定和解决阻碍该地区海洋生物技术发展的瓶颈。遵循三步走的方法（1。分析:设置场景;2.转移：识别有前景的价值链；3.资本化：社区创建)，我们确定了北地中海地区最有希望的三个价值链：用于增值化合物的藻类生产，综合多营养水产养殖(IMTA)和有价水产养殖/渔业/加工副产品，不可避免的/不需要的捕获和丢弃。通过若干利益攸关方活动，确定了在这一令人兴奋的领域取得进展所需的发展潜力以及技术和非技术技能，这些活动提供了宝贵的见解和反馈，应在北地中海区域海洋生物技术发挥其全部潜力。
