Date of latest update: 2023-03-02

Description

Description (EN):

The nautical industry offers a significant potential for job creation and is a vector for economic development and wealth for the Atlantic Area territories. The marine leisure industry is worth EUR 8.9Bn and employs 85,000 people across the Atlantic Area. The CAPITEN project has 2 goals: - to promote economic development and jobs by enhancing the local natural and cultural heritage; - to create an industry cluster to organise its concerted development and promote the emergence of innovative products and services, bolstering the attractiveness of the destination resorts and well-being of the local residents, as well as attracting a new tourist clientele. CAPITEN aims to organise the sector on 3 interdependent and complementary hubs of excellence that form a virtuous circle: i) tourism, water sports and coastal activities, ii) industry, services, trade, iii) sailing and ports. After a study on the ground among professionals of the sector, partners proposed a concrete actions' plan to increase the attractiveness of the Atlantic regions and draw new customers. This cluster will strengthening cooperation between the Atlantic regions for a common services offers strengthening blue growth on this area.

Achievements (EN):

The nautical industry offers significant potential for job creation and is a vector for economic development and wealth for the Atlantic Area territories. The CAPITEN project aims to foster the tourist economy, and promotes a sustainable approach in the nautical industry in its various activity sectors. CAPITEN operates in three innovation clusters: design of innovative marine leisure products, innovations in yachting and technological and industrial innovations. This project has two main goals: first, to promote economic development and jobs by enhancing the local natural and cultural heritage, and second, to create an industry cluster to organise its concerted development, promote the emergence of innovative products and services, bolstering the attractiveness of the destination resorts, and the wellbeing of the local residents while attracting a new tourist clientele. For these purposes the project implemented a series of actions related to innovative products, integrating new technologies or suggesting new activities to marine leisure users looking for a change. The conceptualised products were mostly presented and tested at mainstream events and adjusted to best meet the needs identified and the targeted audience. These were aimed at boat clubs that seek to diversify their range of activities. For example, it designed three prototypes of navigation supports with ecological design and improved the specifications for new services for boaters and the general public, as well as the creation of ten Atlantic Destinations routes between territories. CAPITEN also created a database of the main processes currently used by the industry’s manufacturing sector, in order to move towards a more eco-responsible industry. This database will allow to view and compare processes that have been selected for the manufacture and recycling of boats, according to environmental criteria with convincing technical results.
