National -Lund-KTH Univ -Sust fishing in Colombia Open Innovation- 2020-2024 - Lund U.- Sustainable Fishing through Open Innovation National -Lund-KTH Univ-Hållbart fiske genom Öppen Innovation Colombia 2020-2024 The general objective of this project support is to strengthen and develop communitarian ecosystem capabilities and self-efficacy by designing a sustainable fishing model under open innovation and co-creation methodologies that contributes to reducing the environmental and economic impact generated by the current fossil fuel system. The support is provided to three agreement partners: the National University of Colombia (UNAL), University of Cauca, Lund University, and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). The target population lives in Guapi, a conflict-affected area in Colombia. Målet med detta projektstöd är att stärka och utveckla kapaciteten för kommunitära ekosystem genom en hållbar fiskerimodell som bygger på öppen innovation och medskapande, som syftar till att bidra till en minskning av den miljömässiga och ekonomiska påverkan som det nuvarande systemet med fossila bränslen ger upphov till. Stödet ges till tre avtalsparter: Colombias nationella universitet (UNAL), Caucas Universitet, Lunds universitet och Kungliga tekniska högskolan (KTH). Målgruppen bor i Guapi, ett konfliktdrabbat område i Colombia. The general objective of the contribution is “to strength and develop communitarian ecosystem capabilities and self-efficacy by designing a sustainable fishing model under open innovation and co-creation methodologies that contributes to reducing the environmental and economic impact generated by the current fossil fuel system”.
It is expected that through the development of this project, a more dynamic economy and greater investment from the private and public sectors will lead, in the long term, to an improvement in the quality of life for people living in the municipality of Guapi. It is also expected to stimulate other related initiatives that contribute to the development of artisanal fishing in sustainable terms, such as tourism.
The specific proposed outputs are
-To develop a sustainable model associated with to the artisanal fishing value chain in Guapi through identifying socioeconomic and environmental factors of the ecosystem.
-To design and build a boat powered by renewable and hybrid energies in coordination with the designed sustainable fishing model.
- To propose a business plan in coordination with social entrepreneurships, strengthening the proposed sustainable fishing model.
