📌The AcquaInnova 2.0 project has come to an end. Funded by MASAF (the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry) and implemented by CIHEAM Bari in collaboration with the Universities of Udine, Ca’ Foscari Venice and Bologna, the project addressed the innovation and sustainability needs of aquaculture businesses operating in both inland waters and marine environments.

The main innovation lies in the development of sustainable feed using alternative protein sources to conventional ones, helping ensure raw material circularity, environmental protection and consumer safety.

🔗The results of AcquaInnova 2.0 may also be applied in technical assistance projects developed by CIHEAM Bari within the framework of Italian Development Cooperation, such as the project in countries, contributing to the transfer of innovative solutions for more sustainable aquaculture.

📌For months, ideas, conversations and practical work have been coming together around one question: how can a local incubator create real opportunities for young entrepreneurs?
The answer is now taking shape.

🎯On 28–29 October, 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐛 𝐉𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚 will host the final seminar, “Creative Hub Jimma: From Blueprint to Impact”. The two-day event will bring together AICS, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Labor and Skills, the First Lady Office, UNIDO and CIHEAM Bari, alongside local and regional authorities, universities, technical schools, entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and youth and women’s organisations.

🔗The journey began in Addis Ababa in April, continued with the assessment of three local value chains, and moved to Bari from 22 June to 3 July, where training and co-design helped turn findings into a practical incubation model: Agricultura.
Today, Agricultura has an operational manual and a sustainability plan. But a model only becomes meaningful when it is tested, discussed and taken forward by the people and institutions who will use it.

That is what the final seminar is about: presenting and validating the model, listening to feedback and mobilising support for the launch of the incubator in Jimma.
Follow us in the coming days for updates from Jimma.

➡The initiative is part of ‘Support to Youth and Women through the Development of Products, Services and Public-Private Partnerships’ Program funded by the Italian Cooperation and implemented by UNIDO, in partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Skills of Ethiopia.
