Inspiring stakeholders across the Baltic and North Sea to make the Blue Economy carbon-neutral & circular by 2030

In pursuit of EU Mission Ocean’s objectives, Blue Mission BANOS’ 1st Mission Arena will take place on 14-16 November in Gothenburg, Sweden. Through interactive sessions, workshops, pitching events, demonstrations and networking, the 1st Mission Arena will serve as a laboratory to:

– Pave the way for innovative blue economy solutions in the Western Baltic

– Showcase local, regional and national approaches for a circular, carbon-neutral blue economy

– Provide concrete pathways for the EU’s Mission Ocean’s success

Solutions from the blue economy such as blue food, bioresources, biotechnology, low-trophic aquaculture & products, and multi-use will be highlighted as ways to address some of our world’s greatest challenges.

The spatial planning cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly the work of VASAB, its latest Vision 2040, as well as insights into maritime spatial planning cooperation efforts across the Baltic Sea will be highlighted at the Opening Session. Moreover, at the Exhibition Hall all participants will be introduced to the recent work and results of the project eMSP NBSR: Emerging ecosystem-based Maritime Spatial Planning topics in North and Baltic Sea Regions, as well as invited to attend its final conference on 31 January – 1 February 2024 in Gdansk, Poland.
