Local and regional impact has been seen in the increased number of 272 companies from 4 target sectors in 4 partner countries, which were interested in joining the Black Sea Industrial Symbiosis Platform and became members. In addition, many local and regional authorities also signed the Protocol and the commitment of 7 chambers to participate in BSISP clearly shows the direct positive impact and outputs for the beneficiaries. 137 decision-makers were involved by the end of the project, knew about the Strategy and some of them were trained to promote project results and achievements and future participation to the BSISP.
