Strategy consulting services to B2E Bioeconomy Blue Lab
Description of project
The Blue Bioeconomy Collaborative Laboratory (B2E CoLAB) is a private non-profit association operating full speed since 2020, focused on helping to shape a new blue bioeconomy, by bringing together research, education, innovation and business – for a better and more sustainable world.
The creation of CoLABs was an initiative of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education with the aim of implementing research and innovation agendas, creating economic and social value. Collaboratory Laboratories are recognized by FCT and the monitoring process is conducted by ANI, the National Innovation Agency.
B2E CoLAB has hired Aninver Development Partners to execute a full range of strategic advisory services to improve its internal functioning.
