(ANSA) - UDINE, 15 LUG - Sensory panels designed to improve comfort in crowded tourist spaces, digital tools to manage maritime flows better, systems to reduce water waste, and more sustainable packaging. These are among the six solutions presented in Udine as part of In4blue, a European Interreg Italy-Croatia 2021-2027 project focused on the green and digital transformation of the Blue Economy in the Adriatic region. In Friuli Venezia Giulia, the initiative was promoted by the regional Department of Culture and Sports, with technical support from Tec4i Fvg and the collaboration of the Alto Adriatico Technology Hub. It brought together traditional businesses, creative organizations, institutions, and young professionals. The proposals address comfort and inclusivity in hospitality spaces, the sustainability of materials used in the boating industry, the management of maritime tourism flows, digital access to cultural content, cosmetic packaging, and water recirculation and filtration. The six solutions were developed between June 2025 and April 2026 through training activities, workshops, co-creation laboratories and local and cross-border development sessions coordinated by Tec4i Fvg. The Residency Program, aimed at young professionals and emerging talent, has also concluded. Three regional residents were selected, while a Croatian university student was hosted in Friuli Venezia Giulia to work on developing an entrepreneurial project. (ANSA).
