The selection of the 2023 Fond d’Intervention Maritime du Secrétariat d’Etat chargé de la Mer have been announced.
The ocean is crucial for our sovereignty, particularly in terms of food security and supply chain control. It also plays a central role in the energy transition, climate change adaptation, and environmental restoration. In recognition of this importance, in September 2022, the Prime Minister entrusted me with a roadmap based on three essential priorities:
- Protecting marine biodiversity
- Modernizing the French maritime sector
- Enhancing the attractiveness of maritime professions
To support these priorities, we launched the Maritime Intervention Fund (FIM), a call for projects to finance innovative initiatives in our territories. […]
I am pleased to announce today the 81 winners of the 2023 edition of the FIM, endowed with 15 million euros. Their projects will contribute to the deployment of local solutions in line with the national objectives we have set for ourselves.
Hervé Berville, Secrétaire d’État chargé de la Mer
We are very proud to carry one of the two projects selected in the Alpes Maritimes : iAoPort! The funds awarded by the government will allow us to kickstart the first phase of the project with our partners.
