The Scoot project will work to create a hub for marine technology by strengthening small and medium-sized companies in the commercialisation of new products and services in the marine environment. It is a collaborative project between the University of Gothenburg, MMT Sweden AB and SMHI. Meeting places will be created for joint dissemination of knowledge and problem solving. Scoot will implement open calls, where companies describe their challenges and jointly with the project’s resources implement development projects with access to expertise and infrastructure. The goal is to create further research collaborations, new companies in the sector, and an internationally recognised arena in marine innovation and R & D.
