KiNNO Innovation Intermediaries is thrilled to announce our participation in the ABBA project, a groundbreaking initiative designed to bolster the innovation capacities of early-stage blue economy deep tech innovators in the Adriatic-Ionian region.
👉Project Overview:
The ABBA project, spearheaded by the University of the Aegean, aims to address the region’s challenges in research and innovation capabilities, particularly in the blue economy sectors. By establishing the Adriatic-Ionian Sustainable Blue Economy Alliance and six Regional Blue Excellence Hubs, the project seeks to foster sustainable growth and job creation through advanced technologies.
👉KiNNO’s Contribution:
As a key partner, KiNNO will lead the development and pilot testing of two sets of innovation support services:

- Proof of Concepts Development:Â We will support the development of proof of concepts by facilitating soft-landing services, connecting innovators with international organizations, and providing coaching for prototype development.
👉Our Approach:
- Innovation Profiling:Â Assessing the innovation potential and readiness of selected deep tech innovators.
- Coaching and Mentoring:Â Offering tailored sessions on business models, market strategies, and pitching.
