The European Union aims for a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 and has therefore launched the 'Green Deal'. The blue economy plays a key role in the mission 'Restore Our Oceans & Waters'. A first set of tangible results is expected in 2030.

Proverbial 'lighthouses' are being set up for this purpose, which are in fact regional actions to protect and restore our oceans and waters, make the blue economy carbon neutral and circular and/or prevent and remove pollution.

Our region falls under the BANOS lighthouse, which covers the Baltic Sea and the North Sea regions. This lighthouse focuses on making the blue economy carbon neutral and circular.

Blue Cluster stands for a sustainable blue economy and inspires local players, policymakers, companies and scientists as well as the general public. The focus is innovation and accelerated application in the blue economy.
