- WestMED initiative (EN), WestMED initiative (FR) | The WestMED initiative is the result of the "5+5 dialogue" between Western European and African Mediterranean countries. The objectives the initiative has in common with the proposal include sustainable blue growth, job creation and improved quality of life in the Mediterranean region. Other synergies with the proposal are the development of a maritime cluster and maritime knowledge.
- Stakeholder involvement is important in both the initiative and the proposal. Stakeholders will be engaged through newsletters and social media to provide them with every possible opportunity for coordination and cooperation.
- The WestMED initiative includes a Maritime Datahub that brings together various entities that support the blue economy and the sharing of knowledge, data and experiences. The networks developed under the WestMED initiative will be consolidated and included to achieve a greater impact of the proposal.

(FR), BLUEMED initiative (EN), BLUEMED initiative (FR) | Synergies with the BlueMED initiative include the promotion of the European Strategy on Blue Growth and coordination among blue economy actors and Mediterranean countries. The BlueMED strategic Research and Innovation Agenda promotes the role of marine renewables and effective maritime spatial planning, to which this project will contribute. Other synergies are the development of blue competences to improve the level of institutional and technical capacity to implement the Maritime Spatial Planning and Maritime Governance, as well as the involvement of the stakeholders of the quadruple helix. The proposal will use the network developed under the BlueMED platforms, covering four transversal topics such as policy and technology, where national representatives can meet and discuss.

(FR), Orecca project (EN), Orecca project (FR) | The Orecca project created a framework for knowledge exchange and a roadmap for research activities in offshore renewable energy. The knowledge and reports developed during Orecca will be integrated into this project. Particular attention will be paid to the knowledge gained with regard to an integrated maritime policy and the definition of constraints and barriers to offshore wind development. The experience and methodology gained in the development of the WebGIS tool for the analysis of wind and wave potential during Orecca will be consolidated in the project. This project will further advance the assessment of the potential of offshore wind technologies in terms of energy production, techno-economic analysis and energy transfer solutions.

(FR), Pelagos project (EN), Pelagos project (FR) | The Pelagos project focuses on developing a transnational blue energy cluster and facilitating the distribution of solutions and products in the Mediterranean regions. Synergies with the Pelagos project are the provision of workshops and webinars to support capacity building of entrepreneurs, scientists and public authorities. In addition, the project will also promote networking between SMEs, industry, public authorities, research institutes and universities.

(EN), Maestrale project (EN), Maestrale project (FR) | The Maestrale project has created a geodatabase containing information on the potential of blue energy for decision-makers and investors, which will form the basis for new initiatives in the Mediterranean regions. The project selected 20 pilot test sites for the concrete application of blue energy farms in the partner countries. This proposal goes beyond the Maestrale project and aims to provide a more effective set of tools for marine spatial planning, including more detailed planning of the technology, grid connection and energy transmission strategies of an offshore wind farm. Stakeholder networking and the project database on bathymetry, protected areas and wind and energy potential are being consolidated as part of the project. The project partner UCY was also involved in the Maestrale project, which will facilitate the consolidation of previous datasets. Experience gained during the Blue Energy Labs from the Maestrale will be also integrated in the project to select most relevant case studies which comply with marine spatial and technology constraints. Finally, the regulatory framework developed under the Maestrale project will be consolidated and integrated into this project to involve more partners and increase its relevance for offshore wind farm projects in the Mediterranean.
