De Blauwe Cluster vzw

The Blue Cluster encourages companies, public institutions and centers of excellence to work together to develop and promote sustainable economic activities related to the sea. Our focus is on coastal protection, renewable energy, fresh water production, maritime transport connections, sustainable marine biomass production, ocean pollution and waste solutions, and blue tourism. Each of our innovation domains has the power to create a ripple effect and boost innovative projects in other domains. By integrating digitalization and enabling distant monitoring, we apply the Industry 4.0 mindset in the blue economy. Last but not least, our ‘ecosystem approach’ puts the cohesion between ecology and economy first in everything we develop.
