SMARTA - Sustainable Marine Transformation and Assessment
SMARTA is a 3-year project launched in January 2009, jointly funded by the Regional Development Agency (SEEDA) and the European Union through its European Regional Development Fund. The project aims to help marine companies achieve a combination of economic and environmental performance improvement.
The project partners work with marine businesses to minimise their resource usage and environmental impact, review and improve their marketing and optimise their manufacturing processes. These activities deliver the dual aims of enhancing sustainability and improving the company's profitability.
The project partners are Marine South East (Lead Partner), Manufacturing Advisory Service South East (MAS SE), Atkins Environmental, Force 5 Marketing and ProAction Creative.
The 3-year project aims to:
- raise levels of knowledge and innovation across the marine sector in order to support more resource efficient business practices, boosting profitability and log term competitiveness;
- stimulate innovation and job creation in ecologically-driven marine sub-sectors;
- reduce the rate of growth of the region's ecological footprint whilst stimulating economic growth.
