2. Why is Resource Efficiency
Important for Business?
• Reduces costs & raises profitability
– Minimise material used in production
– Avoid disposal costs
– Meet customers’ green procurement needs
• Creates new business opportunity
– New markets for resource efficient operations
and equipment
• Adapt existing products/processes
• Create radical new solutions

3. What Kind of Business
Opportunities?
• Traditional maritime
sectors:
– Shipbuilding & repair
– Maritime transport
– Leisure & tourism
– Fisheries
• and their supply chains
• Emerging maritime sectors:
– Aquaculture
– Renewable energy
– Surveillance
– Blue biotech
• and their supply chains

10. Resource Efficient Maritime
Capacity (REMCap)
• Overall goal of REMCap
– Increase the innovation capacity across the
EU in maritime resource efficiency
– and thereby position European businesses to
exploit global growth markets in resource
efficiency
• Maritime clusters in:
– UK, Ireland, France, Portugal, Sweden and
Lithuania

11. REMCap Markets

12. REMCap Opportunities
Implementation
• Market opportunities and key planning • Joint projects
customers • New collaborations
• Innovation road-mapping • New concepts & business • Proposals for grant or
models investment funding
• Technologies, facilities, skills
• Sources of finance
Innovation Projects &
priorities investments

13. Conclusions
• Maritime resource efficiency market is a
major opportunity
• REMCap can help firms to explore how they
could exploit it
– Understand the market & customer needs
– Meet potential partners/suppliers
• MSE can identify sources of funding,
support or investment
– UK (TSB, DECC, KTP/University, MAS etc)
– EU (IEE, Life, ESA as well as EC)
