Target

Atlantic Innovative Labs
This is the central action of our project, it is the starting point of the Atlantic Communities. The objective is to create a pilot ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship. The ecosystem is articulated around open innovation labs (Ideation, Maker and Scale), with training and mentoring where young people and SMEs will collaborate to shape, prototype and commercialize solutions for the priority challenges of the Blue Economy in the Atlantic Area. SMEs will have a prominent role as they will also put their resources and knowledge at the service of the project.
Called the AA Youth Innoblue Labs, it has a hands-on approach through collaborative work, training and mentoring.
Ideation Labs – The great moment of creativity
Objective: to shape challenges and provide solutions by identifying opportunities, in collaboration with companies.
Right now we work through design thinking ideas, create them if we don’t have them, and develop the necessary path to develop our prototypes and projects.
Maker Labs – Training for everyone
Objective: to create products and services for the AA based on Blue Economy principles.
To create these products and services we will need to observe, study and at the same time participate in personalized training.
Scale Labs – We’re going to the streets!
Objective: create paths so that products and services are real.
In this stage, participants will be trained and advised to identify financial support and investors, including the project’s SMEs; for launch, growth,…

Co-Living Experiences
Young people in the project will have the opportunity to participate in the laboratories of other partners, in the same or a different country. They will land in the idea development phase they are in (Ideation, Maker or Scale Labs).
The destination lab will be chosen taking into account the young person’s proposal or the technical availability and resources of the host. Each partner will decide the duration and characteristics according to the age and demand of the young people.
The Atlic project also offers the opportunity for young people from each organization to develop an internship in a company abroad. The partners will seek to ensure that this opportunity has special relevance for each young people project.
