Developing core technologies and
emerging enabling technologies provide tools that permit SME alliances
to operate on “level playing field” with large companies. However
burdens are placed on SME due to the need for responsible social and
environmental actions in the operation of sustainable seaplant value
chains. There are also problems with widespread fragmentation of
core-functions, scattered transactions and erratic availability of
enabling solutions from seaplant value-chain stakeholders. This has
led to a situation where there are "jumbled links" that can be
assembled as value chains. SEAPlant.Net™ seeks such opportunities,
determines solutions and effects them. |
