Description

The European Commission's Directorate General for Maritime and Fisheries Affairs (DG MARE) and Executive Agency for SMEs (EASME) are organising this World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) 2020 online  side event on innovative projects for a sustainable economy.

Anyone who would you like to know more about the links between blue economy and circular economy, or is interested in these topics, is welcome to attend the WCEF side event Innovative Projects for a Sustainable Blue Economy. As outlined in the EU Blue Economy Report 2020, oceans, coastal areas and marine activities are playing a central role in supporting Europe’s post-crisis economic recovery through innovative products and services and creating high-value jobs that shift the European Union (EU) towards the objectives of the Green Deal. In this context, a selection of European and Maritime Fisheries Fund (EMFF) projects will present innovative solutions they are developing and will show links between the blue economy and circular economy and how they can contribute to the EU Green Deal’s objectives. The projects are addressing the following blue economy areas:

  • Marine litter
  • Bio based materials
  • Sustainable aquaculture
  • Offshore installations 

The event takes place online on 16 November 2020 (14:30-16:30 CET) end will include interactive discussions with speakers to facilitate knowledge exchange and networking.

Andreea STRACHINESCU, Head of Unit at DG MARE and Vincent FAVREL, Head of Unit at EASME will introduce the topics of the event.
