Organised by NTNU and the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat, the session is conducted in the framework of Interreg project PROWAD LINK. The project aims to unlock the potential of natural areas as a driver for jobs and sustainable development. This is done by working with small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop nature as a brand to create benefits for both, SMEs and the environment.
