Maps in the various categories are presented. In chapter 4 the results of the interviews are summarised. The report concludes with a list of recommended topics for future cooperation in chapter 5. In further works of the Smart Blue Regions project (groups of activity (GoA) 4.2 and 4.3) these recom- mendations will be further elaborated inter alia during organised workshops together with blue growth actors from the partner regions. The maps included in this report also exist in an interactive version for online usage. The interactive maps include web links and short information boxes opening when the cursor touches the respective sym- bol. Those maps will be made accessible for everyone, who is interested to learn more about blue growth actors in the Baltic Sea region. Additionally, lists of actors (BSOs, universities and research institutes) are attached to this report (see appendix 2–4).

This chapter aims at summarising the results from for implementation. In a second step, the selected RIS3 identification of blue growth focus areas in the six documents were analysed: smart specialisation topics partner regions and other blue regions in the respective and specialisation fields of all partner regions and other countries.

In a next step, maps of the whole Baltic Sea Region were developed to get a better overview and to find matches between the regions.

The subfield of “health treatment” consists of two different sectors: Photo 2: Cages for fish farming (by Popova Valeriya) Medical treatments using marine resources for the recovery process and spa tourism, fostering wellbeing. Based on those subfields, each project partner identified blue growth focus areas in several regions of the respective country. Only regions with a focus on blue growth in the regional innovation strategy were included in the study. It might be that regions do have a focus on one of the blue fields, but if this focus is not mentioned in one of its specialisation fields in the respective RIS3, it is consequently not indicated in the maps. Maps were developed for each country separately (see fig. 5–10). The six national maps show that blue growth fields are mentioned in several regional innovation strategies in the respective countries. All three categories of blue growth and the defined subcategories do play a major role in the Baltic Sea region and also within the RIS3 process. Each region and country shows its unique

However, the advanced steel industry of the region is an important supplier for offshore constructions/applications (i.e. wind energy). The regional companies are among oth- ers famous for wellheads, manifolds, seabed, process- ing, bearings, rotating elements, special steel in the shape of bars and tubes for hydraulic pitch drives and components for wind turbines, chrome plated bars, used in pistons as well as fastening/anchoring ele- ments. The cluster comprises a number of companies in Dalarna and in neighbouring regions, being known Stockholm for their high quality steel components. The national capital is involved in many different economic sectors. Within the blue fields, Stockholm has advantages in the subfields of maritime technology, monitoring and other marine technologies, shipping, ports and marine aquaculture. Naval architec- ture and naval engineering is a focus at KTH (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, Royal University of Technology). Another regional focus in maritime technologies is the development of autonomous vessels. There are many aqua culture projects in the Archi- pelago of Stockholm, where both academy and com- munity level are involved. KTH is involved in specific projects – also with Gotlands – concerning combined uses of the sea for wind energy and aquaculture (i.e. mussels).
