Bord Iascaigh Mhara 2019 - Commercially Focussed Seafood R&D

There are several longer-term seafood and marine research projects that are funded under a variety of calls (e.g. FIRM, Horizon 2020, Interreg, PP funding). The aim of this initiative is to harness near-market research outputs and capabilities (TRL 6+) and to work closely with research groups and SMEs to test, scale and integrate viable technologies under commercial conditions. BIM staff are closely connected to the day-to-day activities in processing facilities, aquaculture sites and on-vessel and understand the current baseline capabilities across the entire value chain. Using Innovation framework tools and design thinking methodology, R&D projects are being evolved using client-led insights and market-led ideation. Considerable opportunity exists to develop industry-oriented projects with impact and to integrate and embed R&D outputs in industry and create sustainable advantage for our clients. To progress these opportunities, BIM proposes to set up (3) three Framework Agreements from which mini competitions will be run. Successful tender applicants to the framework(s)will be invited to quote for specific project focus areas in the future. These areas will be selected by BIM, partner agencies and industry stakeholders.
