S3E at the Danube Lighthouse Conference of the EU Ocean Mission!
Last week, our team members Christina Deligianni and Spyros Kouvelis from the Institute for Sustainable Development at EPLO travelled to Bucharest, Romania, to attend the Danube Lighthouse Conference of the EU Ocean Mission.
The Danube lighthouse, which is part of the EU Mission ''Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030'' 🌊
With a 2030 target, this EU Mission aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments. The Mission’s new approach will address the ocean and waters as one and play a key role in achieving climate neutrality and restoring nature.
Cross-cutting enabling actions will support this objective, in particular broad public mobilisation and engagement and a digital ocean and water knowledge system, known as Digital Twin OceanEN.
The Mission supports regional engagement and cooperation through area-based “lighthouses” in major sea/river basins: Atlantic-Arctic, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic-North Sea, and Danube-Black Sea. Mission lighthouses are sites to pilot, demonstrate, develop and deploy the Mission activities across EU seas and river basins
During the short trip, Christina and Spyros had the chance to visit the Polytechnic School of Bucharest and participate at the launch of the EcoDalli Project. We are grateful for having had excellent meetings with ICLEI, Danube and Black Sea Stakeholders, Romanian National Institute of Marine Geology, Uni of Zagreb, amongst others, and spread the word about the South European Deep Tech Revolution 🚀 🔥

S3E CHARGE acceleration program kicks-off to support growth startups
S3E team kicked off the CHARGE Acceleration program with an onboarding session with the growth startups selected through the Open Call #1.
The growth startups introduced themselves and their deep tech innovations. They all had the chance to meet each other creating a perfect atmosphere for collaboration, networking and opportunities to grow. During the following 14 weeks, S3E team and the assigned Mentors will be supporting the selected participants defining their business plans and go to market strategies.
About S3E CHARGE acceleration program
S3E Charge offers a 14-week tailor-made mentoring and networking program to develop an investment-ready business plan and support the access to non-dilutable and dilutable funding.
The mentoring process will guide the growth start-up teams in the development of a business plan for a product, service or process that makes them investment ready and takes their validated business case to an investor attractive level. So, they will acquire skills in technology commercialisation, science-based entrepreneurship, business development and intellectual property protection using their own business offerings through tailor-made mentorship.
When the selected startups finish the program, they will have developed a business plan for a product, service or process and acquired skills and be investment ready to:
- link their product/service/process product with market needs,
- better communicate their offerings to potential clients and investors,
- become market ready to pitch, persuade and readapt their business offerings to different audiences, depending on market needs
- connect to ‘Innovation Leaders’ and ‘Strong Innovators’ Ecosystems
- better understand to protect IP
- prepare an investment ready business plan
- get access to funds and funding
The outcome of the S3E Charge will better position them to apply for public or private funding and programs, because it will help them link their business offerings to market needs and become market ready to pitch and attract investments whilst having validated and honed your business plan and your value proposition.
