Abstract
The Marine Ireland Industry Network (MIIN) Feasibility Study assesses the potential for MIIN to evolve from an informal network into a formal, industry-led cluster organisation supporting Ireland’s blue economy. Funded under the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme, the study comprised three components: a Feasibility Analysis Study (led by Cluster Centre Ireland), member consultations, and this synthesis report providing a combined assessment and outlining recommendations and a roadmap for MIIN’s future direction. Findings show strong industry demand for a structured, professionally managed cluster to address shared challenges, foster innovation, and improve access to funding and skills. The report recommends a phased move to a strategy-led cluster with initial public support and a clear path to blended public–private funding. MIIN is well positioned to become a sustainable, industry-led national cluster, enhancing collaboration and competitiveness in Ireland’s marine sector.
