Blue Wink-E 2024 promotes the Blue Bioeconomy

The Blue Wink-E 2024 is approaching, bringing with it a clear mission: to place the blue bioeconomy at the forefront as a driver of innovation, sustainability, and growth. Under the theme “Choose Blue, Live Green,” this gathering will bring together some of the most influential Portuguese companies and entities in the sector, including Sumol + Compal, Flatlantic, Sense Test, Wissi, TMG Textiles, and Sonae MC. It will take place on 25th October, starting at 9:00 AM, at the Auditório Infante D. Henrique in Matosinhos.

Organised by the B2E Blue Bioeconomy CoLAB, the event will convene renowned companies and specialists with the aim of defining strategies that promote the acceptance and appreciation of blue bioeconomy products, in line with the Roadmap for the Blue Bioeconomy, a strategic document for Europe.

“One of the major challenges facing the blue bioeconomy is to increase awareness and acceptance among consumers. We need effective strategies to demonstrate the value and potential of marine products, both for the environment and the economy,” argues the coordinator of B2E CoLAB, Maria Coelho.

The Blue Wink-E 2024 is part of the ongoing effort to create bridges between science, public policy, and industry, with the goal of accelerating the transition from a linear economy to a circular and blue economy. During the event, there will be roundtable discussions with experts, researchers, and entrepreneurs, promoting a strategic collaboration agenda that can enhance the blue bioeconomy sector at both national and international levels.

The event will also feature networking opportunities, allowing participants to explore new collaboration avenues and discuss solutions that contribute to the sustainable future of the blue bioeconomy.
