Description

FUTU-fish aims to foster the application of technical and sustainable methods to save energy in maritime and seafood clusters around the North Sea. The project is seeking partners to cooperate, share and develop innovative activities to lower the carbon footprint while boasting regional economies. An overall ambition is to have a project which in itself forms a closed business case to increase effectiveness as to showcase but also the ability to deliver a clear profit for the North Sea Region.
