It is a project co-funded by the ERDF Interregional Innovation Investments Instrument (I3) of the European Commission under project number 101083785. The BalticMUPPETS project brings together 13 partners from 5 countries with expertise in multiple sectors of the mussel supply chain, from mussel production to processing, product development, marketing, and financing, among others. It is a three-year project; it started in December 2022 and will be implemented until December 2025.
