Concept
We believe that new, innovative marine bio resources industries are emerging, changing the old maritime economies of the past into a new paradigm of a natural resources friendly blue economy. This economy will be critical to the sustainability of the oceans and seas, preserving them for the next generations and this program is a contribution to accelerate its development. We are seeking innovative projects that represent a business opportunity along the value chain of marine bioresources, including, but not limited to, biotechnology based projects.
Come and join us in Portugal to launch your solution to the world!
We are looking for applications from across the globe to join us in the mission to accelerate the transition to a global and sustainable blue bioeconomy while promoting a productive and healthy ocean.
Our Ambition
We believe the blue bio economy will have a leading role tackling some of the most critical societal challenges the planet is facing by contributing to positive impact solutions in several areas. The 2019 edition is looking for ocean-based solutions in the areas of:
Feeding a growing population & ensuring sustainable food systems
Enhancing health &
well-being
Mitigation and adaptation to climate change
Adressing resource scarcity & preserving natural ecosystems and biodiversity
Empowering a circular bioeconomy growth model
Reducing plastic production & pollution
You are welcome to present other ocean-based ideas or technologies that demonstrate positive impact on society
Covid-19 does not stop us from working to design a better future - Blue Bio Value accelerator is prepared to conduct a fully remote experience if needed to safeguard the well-being of startups, mentors and partners.
The Program
We believe in ideas as powerful as the ocean
Blue Bio Value is a business program dedicated to bringing ocean-based, sustainable solutions to a new, blue bioeconomy. We scale up marine biobased projects to global market applications in different industries, fostering science-based and biotech innovations, while helping to design a better world.
We believe that the answers to some of today’s greatest societal challenges can be found in the ocean. With the emergence of innovative industries based in marine bio-resources, we see a shift from the environmentally destructive maritime economies of the past, towards a sustainable blue economy. Blue Bio Value empowers ocean-based ideas and solutions to contribute to this new economic model. We seek unique, innovative projects that represent a business opportunity along the value chain of marine bioresources, including, but not limited to, biotechnology-based projects.
Since its launch in 2018, Blue Bio Value has accelerated a total of 28 companies from 15 different nationalities. 2020 marks the 3rd edition of Blue Bio Value’s start-up accelerator program, and the 1st edition of its new Ideation Sprints, which aim to bridge the gap between academic research and the market.
We believe in ideas as powerful as the ocean and in transforming them into realities.
