PROWAD Link project results overview
The INTERREG North Sea Region project “PROWAD Link – Protect & Prosper” aims to support sustainable growth by engaging SMEs in nature conservation. Thereby, the potential of nature heritage brands as drivers for jobs and sustainable regional development are unlocked, closing a nature-business-benefit-cycle. Fifteen project partners from Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom set out in 2018 with three main targets:
- Improve access to nature brands with economic value for SMEs;
- Enhance sustainability of SMEs in the North Sea Region;
- Co-create, with SMEs and knowledge partners, innovative and sustainable marketable offers and products.
