The Port of Barcelona and Tech Barcelona have launched a new project area in the port that is designed to target all innovative matters related to the blue economy.
It is called BlueTechPort.
The new venue has been established at Tech Barcelona’s Pier 01 at the Palau de Mar. It will be “home” for companies and entrepreneurial projects linked to the port across the logistics and blue tourism sectors. It will also cover more specialised activities such as underwater robotics, artificial intelligence relating to the marine environment and the recovery of marine biodiversity made from marine products, amongst others.
Lluís Salvadó, President, Port of Barcelona highlighted the importance of the project at the recent launch ceremony: “All of these sectors spell new opportunities for the maritime and port ecosystem, and at the Port of Barcelona we want to support these initiatives, becoming a benchmark for the blue economy in Europe,” he underlined.
Tech Barcelona is the independent non-profit association that works to consolidate Barcelona as a world-class technological and digital hub. Set up in 2013, it represents more than 1300 companies and has more than 80 partner organisations committed to the project.
