What is the Blue Bioeconomy Pact?
The Blue Bioeconomy Pact grew out of an application to the mobilising agendas for business innovation, envisaged in the Recovery and Resilience Plan, with investment of 133 million euros up to 2025 – of which 94 million is provided in the form of incentives.
Bringing together the most varied industrial interests in Portugal, it plans to develop new products, processes and services resulting from total or partial incorporation of goods from the blue bioeconomy in new or existing value chains, with a real impact on the environment, due to their responsible and sustainable nature, on the life of their consumers, and on the country's exports.
The consortium is made up of 83 Portuguese organisations, of which 53 are businesses of various sizes and in different sectors, ranging from large multinational conglomerates to SMEs and start-ups. The other 30 organisations are non-business R&I system entities (NBRISs). In other words, they include research and development centres, CoLABs, universities and others.
Vision
A new sustainable, innovative and decarbonizing paradigm which looks to the sea for an answer to the challenge of the global scarcity of terrestrial resources.
The Consortium will invest in the incorporation of blue biotechnology products and services in new or existing value chains.
Portugal as a pioneer in developing the Blue Bioeconomy.
These are organized by industrial verticals, from End-Users (Solution Providers and Leaders of this Pact) to Technology Generators (SMEs and start-ups) and Knowledge Generators (R&D entities).
Inovamar's mission is to reindustrialize and decarbonize the Portuguese economy through the Blue Bioeconomy.
