About the project
The maritime sector has been an economic backbone for Malta and relies on traditional services such as the Ship Register, logistics, ship manufacturing and maritime engineering.
However, the sector offers great potential which is not yet being tapped into. Should the right incentives and support for R&I initiatives be in place, the sector has the potential to attract new business in the fields of biotechnology, renewable energy, offshore activities, carbontech and digitalization; advances in such fields would result in decarbonization and contribute towards climate change targets. But the maritime sector still lacks R&I capacity and experience.
This project would like to explore the hindrances currently stopping R&I from flourishing within traditional sectors such as the maritime sector and target policy improvement towards eliminating these challenges.
