Blue Economy
The new Olympic Port is a leading project that aims to turn the space into the icon of the Blue Barcelona and as a role model for sustainability. It will be a Blue Economy hub, contributing to innovation, generation of new economic activity and quality employment. In addition, the project includes new spaces for the promotion of leisure sailing and water sports, and the recovery of the public space of contact with the sea, where anyone can enjoy, work, play sports and experience the sea.
This leading project includes several physical spaces in Nova Bocana transformed into a campus for higher education, vocational training, research, technology development, innovation, technology transfer, entrepreneurship promotion and employment in the field of the Blue and Sustainable Economy, as well as specific areas for the development of collaborative projects. This Park, in addition, will contribute to the innovation and positioning of the business fabric of the city.
The creation of an entrepreneurship programme aims to develop a leading service and excellence in business creation in the field of the Blue Economy, thus being a hub of attraction for the economy of Barcelona. It is aimed at all those projects that want to promote and support the blue business and entrepreneurial ecosystem of the city. The activities developed will range from support in starting up the company to personal tutorials and specialisation workshops with experts.
The potential to strengthen, reinforce and promote the transformation of the business network linked to this field, both for large companies and for SMEs in the sector. A reference team in the Blue Economy will be created in order to launch an advisory service aimed at the business ecosystem, with support for business training, financing, job search, location and landing, and innovation, among others.
