As part of the Algerian delegation, Leancubator, represented by General Manager Abdelfettah Herizi, joined a fruitful immersion tour in Naples and Rome, exploring Italy’s blue innovation ecosystem. The program enabled meaningful exchanges with key actors in sustainable coastal development. 

Many thanks to the Blue Economy Programme team for their excellent coordination. This mission helped strengthen regional ties and reaffirm Algeria’s role in the Mediterranean’s blue transition. 

A special appreciation goes to our longstanding partners: 

Cluster BIG, whose leadership and coordination made this visit a success, your work is truly exemplary and inspiring! 

Fabbrica Italiana dell’Innovazione, FORMARE, and SPICI, for the warm welcome, valuable insights, and continued partnership. 

Highlights included: 

Field visits to cutting-edge aquaculture and marine research centers such as Anton Dohrn Zoological Station and Acquamarina. 

Strategic dialogues on cluster governance, innovation ecosystems, and SME engagement with Italian institutions, accelerators, and universities. 

Participation in high-level panels where Leancubator presented Algeria’s dynamic private innovation ecosystem in the blue economy  including startups, incubators, and innovation hubs. 

Leancubator proudly reaffirms its long-term commitment to fostering North–South cooperation in the Mediterranean, particularly in the field of sustainable blue economy. Through initiatives such as the Cluster Alliance MED BLUE (CallMeBlue), Eco-Cruising_Fu_Tour Project, and the Algerian Blue Economy Conference, we continue to connect innovation actors, policymakers, and investors across the region. 

We also had the honour to be received by H.E the Ambassador of Algeria in Rome, a key moment that reaffirmed the importance of diplomatic and economic cooperation in fostering maritime innovation. 

Let’s continue building bridges through innovation, sustainability, and shared learning.
