Annex 3: Stakeholder Database Analysis Introduction A Blue Biotechnology stakeholder database has been compiled to identify some of the major players of the European Blue Biotechnology sectors according to a variety of parameters. The database comprises active contacts (at person level, i.e. including direct contact via email or other means of communication is possible for users of the database) from industry, academia, networks including industry associations, research- and knowledge centres, public and private funding agencies, Member state authorities etc. Whilst not a comprehensive list of stakeholders the database does provide a representative set of stakeholders. The database includes the following fields:  Country, organization, proposed stakeholder (name), contact data (incl. Email), webpage;  Type of organization: academic research, company (personnel<250), company (personnel 250-500), company (personnel >500), funding agencies, policy makers, outreach professionals, infrastructures, clusters, networks;  Short description;  Industry sector: Food: Food, Food: supplements, Food: Feed, Energy, Health: Pharma, Health: MedTech, Health: Diagnostics, Cosmetics, Other industries: Environment: Monitoring, Environment: Remediation, Industrial Products and Processes: Process, Industrial Products and Processes: Enzyme, Industrial Products and Processes: Pilot;  Criterion for selection: Activity in the field, visibility at EU level, relevance for politic, reference to BB sectors, regional diversity & spread;  Company’s activity field: R&D, production, service, marketing. At this stage, the database has been compiled as an excel list. It has been used to advertise the European Commission’s public consultation on marine biotechnology130. The database was updated throughout the study using details gained through research. For possible external use stakeholders will need to give their consent for their use of data. The database shall be formatted in such way that it can be searched by combined queries (redistributable access file). The stakeholder database targets were a minimum of 100 individual players spread across at least 80 institutions and a coverage of approximately 15-20 EU countries. Special efforts were made to avoid a biased view on the stakeholders to be involved. Stakeholders Analysis The current state of entries is 286 stakeholders covering 25 countries (plus Europe, Baltic Sea Region, Mediterranean Region and Global entries) and 238 institutions. Table 0.4 and Figure 0.2 present the number of stakeholders per country and region (in the instances that stakeholders were affiliated to a region rather than a country). The top five countries are France, Netherlands, Germany, the UK and Norway. 130 http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/maritimeaffairs_fisheries/consultations/marine-biotechnology/index_en.htm 90 Study in support of Impact Assessment work on Blue Biotechnology
