Happening for the first time, the event «Blue Synergies: Maximising Funding Impact in the Atlantic Sea Basin» aims to foster collaboration and explore the potential synergies between the Atlantic Strategy and the funding programmes operating in the area. The event is co-organised by DG Regio and DG Mare, with the support of Interreg Atlantic Area, the Atlantic Assistance Mechanism and Interact. 

This event will bring together Atlantic Strategy’s stakeholders, funding authorities, the business community, and project owners to exchange on how to design and deliver joint initiatives and build the needed processes for a sustainable blue economy in the Atlantic Area. In addition, the meeting will provide a possibility for the funding authorities to discuss how to embed the Atlantic Strategy in a practical way and build closer cooperation links.

In addition, managing authorities working in the Atlantic Region are kindly invited to the Joint meeting of Managing Authorities of ERDF and Interreg Programmes in the Atlantic Sea basin held earlier on the same date.

This meeting is designed to support EU funding programmes towards the shared goals outlined in the Atlantic Strategy Action Plan. It will offer an overview of embedding, primarily focusing on facilitating an open exchange about establishing stronger connections among individual initiatives and projects in the Atlantic region. It intends to gather the persons responsible for the implementation of the European Cohesion funds and the European Territorial Cooperation programmes within the Atlantic Sea basin.
