The Strategic Management Council of the ‘Blue Hub, Infrastructure Network for the Blue Economy’ met today in Porto to discuss a governance model that promotes synergies between SMEs and start-ups, large companies, interface centres and universities. The Secretary of State for the Sea, José Maria Costa, participated in the proceedings.
These synergies are crucial to the success of the strategy to expand and promote traditional and emerging sectors of the blue economy and will enable us to benefit from the opportunities arising from the climate and digital transitions, which are fundamental to increasing the international profile of this economic sector in Portugal.
At this meeting, particular attention was also given to the organisation of the second edition of the Sustainable Blue Economy Investment Forum (SBEIF), which will take place on 4 October at the Estoril Congress Centre, with the aim of boosting the international profile of the national blue economy, a key factor in attracting new companies and foreign direct investment.
