//   BLUE ECONOMY

The Mediterranean Sea constitutes a cross road of continents and the main link among EU countries, Asia and Middle East, bearing a huge load of maritime activities that need to be monitored in an efficient way.

Blue Economy is aiming to inspire and help young entrepreneurs realize the innovative concepts relating to marine resources, introduce promising business opportunities, create new jobs, and transform traditional processes into more productive and sustainable activities.
