1 Marine Clusters Strengthening cooperation and best practices between clusters around the North Atlantic Ocean and how it can lead to new opportunities Vilhjálmur Jens Árnason Matis - A workshop on coastal fisheries in the North Atlantic

2 Established in 2011 The Iceland Ocean Cluster The aim of the Iceland Ocean Cluster is to increase value in the ocean cluster by connecting people and businesses. Members 50 The cluster house 40 companies

8 North Atlantic Marine Clusters Project

9 North Atlantic Marine Clusters Project Initiated by the Iceland Ocean Cluster Supported by Nordic Innovation and NORA Focus on ocean/marine related clusters in industries related to exploitation of resources in the ocean and beneath the seabed transport by sea, energy at sea.

10 Goal of project To map marine clusters in the North Atlantic Strengthen relationships among them Build arenas to communicate their activities, Benchmark Develop stronger networks in ocean/marine sector.

11 Why? Significant growth potentials in ocean related industries worldwide Opportunities in strengthening the image of the North Atlantic marine market Stronger cooperation may become a vehicle for improved performance better competitiveness

12 Who? Canada Greenland Norway Iceland Faroe Islands Scotland Ireland Sweden Denmark Finland

13 All these countries have access to a substantial coastline and the ocean has an important effect on the economy for the whole country or large regions in the country have in general small, open economies and are thus export-depending countries. rely on foreign trade which constitutes an important part of the economic activity There are strong cultural ties between these countries and collaboration among them has been stable and peaceful.

14 Examples of cooperation European Network of Maritime clusters Baltic Sea Region Programme Atlantic Area Programme North Atlantic Marine energy cluster

15 First phase Mapping and benchmarking Spring of Report Report - Challenge How to define an ocean cluster Localised networks of specialized organisations, whose production processes are closely linked through the exchange of goods, service or knowledge. (Porter, 1998)

35 Second phase Linking clusters and building relationships Reykjavik, May, 2012 Ålesund, April, 2013 Copenhagen, November, 2012

36 Meeting in Reykjavik Main goal to enhance further the personal relationships between cluster managers from different countries. A draft report was introduced Mapping of all marine/ocean cluster activities in the North Atlantic evaluate strengths and possible weaknesses

37 Meeting in Copenhagen Foundation of the cluster alliance Mission to promote and enhance cooperation and collaboration between respective clusters and their members achieving a network of networks for the mutual benefit of all Parties. to support growth and development in ocean related fields by increasing international cooperation. the alliance will serve as a platform for distributing knowledge and identifying new business opportunities.

42 Meeting in Ålesund The members identified fields that are showing business potential. These include areas such as: off-shore aquaculture ship building, shipping and transport, full utilization and more.

43 Concrete projects The collaboration has resulted in several concrete projects such as: Possible establishment of ocean cluster in Greenland Possible establishment of ocean cluster in the Faroe Islands Collaboration between Faroe Islands, Iceland and Denmark regarding an interactive web platform for project sharing between students and companies Turning waste into value meeting series Collaboration between Iceland and Norway regarding oil and gas exploration.
