The IBReizh program
In parallel with the deployment of the offshore wind farm in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc , Ailes Marines initiated the IBReizh economic development program , intended to support projects designed by local operators on the Breton territory.
Supported by Ailes Marines and co-led by the Brittany Region , this 7-year program aims to support actions linked to the sea and renewable energies by relying on key players engaged in local dynamics .
Four areas of intervention have been identified in connection with energy and the sea: economic development , support for the fishing sector , the environment/biodiversity and tourism .
For economic development
Project integration and economic development.
To support the fishing industry
Measurements and development of the sector.
For the environment and biodiversity
Development of knowledge and support for territorial actions.
For tourism development
Integration of the project into the local tourist offer.
Our partners
The program is managed, for each theme, by local network heads who interface with project leaders within the framework of calls for projects or specific fundraising.
Do you have a project related to maritime or energy focusing on one of the 4 target themes?
