The BilgeUP project officially set sail with its Kick-Off Meeting held in Ankara, Turkey. Partners from across Europe and beyond came together to launch this exciting new initiative, which aims to transform maritime waste into valuable, eco-friendly bioproducts.

The meeting marked the start of a collaborative journey focused on innovation, sustainability, and impactful results. During the sessions, partners presented their roles, shared insights, and discussed the project’s objectives and work plan. Key priorities for the upcoming months were outlined, ensuring a strong and coordinated start to project activities.

A warm thank you goes to our partners from GTE for their excellent organisation and to Ankara University for generously hosting the meeting.

The BilgeUP consortium looks forward to building on the strong momentum created during this first gathering and to advancing together toward a cleaner, more sustainable maritime future.
