In this emerging urban era, the sea surrounding our coasts has a crucial role in the development of our cities. The protection of the Ocean and the opportunities that come from a sustainable and innovative Blue Economy are critical for the future and indispensable to solving pressing challenges at local and global levels. What do cities really need for their Blue Economy growth? What can digitalization, blue tech, conservation, restoration, and ocean innovation provide and what is the role of the corporate ocean sectors?
