What is Blue Economy?

Blue Economy is a business development framework shaping how we create solutions with ocean resources to create compelling value for customers and build the good state of ocean and coastal ecosystems.

To grow an ocean business from idea into thriving blue economy business requires more than a great solution. It needs all three aspects:

Impact​
Solution that deliver both business value and positive ocean impact.​

Commercialisation​
Solution that add value to your customers with clear market and growth strategy.​

Funding​
Solution with investor readiness and a realistic funding plan.​

The Nordic Ocean Accelerator helps you work on all three through expert support, industry insights and practical tools to get you ready for an effective blue transition and growth.

By adopting a Blue Economy approach, your company is able to:

  • develop solutions with ocean resources

  • unlock business opportunities

  • enter new markets

  • build stronger customer value

  • attract investors and partners

  • create positive impact for ocean regions

  • grow while preserving and restoring ocean health

‘‘The Nordic Ocean Accelerator Programme will be integral to deepen understanding of the Nordic blue economy opportunity and how to be ready to grow to the next level in it with the support of the tight Nordic Ocean Cluster community.’’
