Alongside the dossier launch, plans are underway for the inaugural edition of 'Entremares,' an international forum designed to bring together stakeholders involved in blue economy projects. This meeting aims to foster synergies, promote collaborations, and attract investment to accelerate sustainable development in Andalucía's marine and coastal arenas. Additionally, the PROA 2026 Awards will recognize outstanding achievements and innovations in the blue economy, emphasizing sustainability and quality job creation.
The regional government has committed over 200 million euros through its Blue Economy Strategy until 2028, comprising 116 action lines to boost sectors such as blue biotechnology, sustainable maritime tourism, and other marine-related activities. Projects like the Maritime Blue Growth Congress in Cádiz and the 'Sun and Blue' initiative underline Andalucía's leadership ambitions.
