Social Innovation. Blue Growth through Cooperation and Solidarity

Building on a Local Model for a Global Bio-Economy Network

The Lower North Shore Bio Products Solidarity Cooperative is now looking to share its model with other regions and believes there is a real value chain in global collaboration of rural and remote regions for research, development and innovation. Building on traditional ecological knowledge for scientific proven research will bring quality, high-end, blue products to the industry from these regions and networks and collaboration will be key to enabling the regions to explore synergies, best practises and partnership opportunities. Connecting bio-economy cooperatives can provide an excellent platform for bringing together community leadership, researchers, policy makers, industry and investment for sound bio-economy development and long term sustainable well-being of rural and remote regions.
