TRANSFORMING FISHERIES & AQUACULTURE

THROUGH AN OPEN INNOVATION NETWORK


OPEN INNOVATION

Partnerships and co-creation Third industrial revolution

User-centered design Sharing the data

R&D’ing outside the box

with a market target

Quadruple Helix innovation models – involving institutional bodies, research sphere, business sector, and citizens in the process

BLUEGROWTH O/I ECOSYSTEMS

ARE EMERGING

YES


CAN YOU

BLUE ? (Please)


UPLOAD IN PROGRESS!

OPEN DATA + OPEN INNOVATION = HACKATHONS


WHAT’S IN A HACKATHON

72h.Wifi.Challenges. Enthousiasm.

Competition.Teams Coders.Data.Designers.

Users. Sleeping bags.Snacks


ARE FISHERIES HACKATHON-ABLE?

2007 2014 2013 2016 2015

Sector lacks appropriation No EU connection/ Good ideas, where do you go?

Attempts Enthusiasm

Demonstration


BLUELABS.I/O.

• Transnational project introduced for EASME Bluelab call funding • Applying Open innovation & hackathon methods to blue growth • Focusing on fisheries & aquaculture Atlantic stakeholders

+ Appropriation + Connection + Implementation


BLUELABS.I/O.

Cycle of blue.Hack-a-thons

• local involvement • Research Led (INESC TEC, CETMAR, UBO) • Atlantic test-bed (Porto, Vigo, Brest) • European networking

• Boosting local & sector ownership through bottom-up challenges

• Promoting Atlantic cooperation with a common challenge

• Backing innovative solutions and supporting their access to market

OPEN INNOVATION CASES


WHO ARE WE?


THE PROBLEM


HOW WE USE LIGHT


DIFFERENT THINGS WE MAKE


WHY SHOULD FISHERMEN CARE? Fisherman with 10m Vessel Industrialised 24m+ Vessel

Fisherman Owned

Processor/Supplier Owned

1-4 extra days at sea.

3-12 extra trawls.

Time saved due to less sorting.

Less wastage of fish quota allowance.

Better quality of catch.

The bottom line

£336k+

Money saved due to better use of cargo

space

£216k £43.2k

Potential profits due to extra days at sea for using selective

gear (4 days)

£120k £24k

£57.2k

Benefits


LIGHT STUDIES


PEOPLE WE NEED TO INVOLVE

Scientific • Proving the science and publishing papers

Industrial

Processors

Retailers

• Introduction to supply chain • Mandating use of selective

fishing methods

Fishing Associations

• Introduction to members • Articles, social media support

Net/Gear Manufacturers

• Introduction to customers + stocking SNTech devices

Regulators • Mandating use of selective fishing gear + incentivisation


HOW WE GOT HERE

Prototype Escape Ring Produced

THANKS FOR LISTENING!


Open innovation for the Atlantic blue

economy

A tool to involve the sector

Pedro Salazar Researcher at INESC TEC


THE PROBLEM

HF/VHF Communications

Are narrowband and only permit

half-duplex communication channels

Satellite Communications

Are expensive and limited to

few Mbit/s

4G/Celullar Communications

Are limited to few kms from the

coastline

Communications at sea

No solution enabling broadband, affordable

Internet access at sea in alternative to satellite


Unique challenges of maritime

communications

MOTIVATION

Rocking movement

Large vessels as obstacles

Specific radio propagation characteristics Harsh environment

Affordable long range broadband comms


Objective Set up MARBED testbed

Evaluate land-sea Wi-Fi Long Distance comms

MARE-FI PROJECT

Land Nodes Sea Node


Objectives

Develop broadband, reliable communications

solution addressing unique maritime challenges and

enabling affordable Internet access at sea

Develop new applications and services taking

advantage of affordable broadband at sea

MARECOM PROJECT


To develop new reliable, broadband

solutions for providing affordable

Internet access to communities at sea

Could we do this alone?

OUR MISSION
