Institutional Opening: The Blue Economy Driving Europe’s Prosperity

Focus:  Europe’s seas, ports, and maritime industries are central to its competitiveness, security, and sustainable growth: how a stronger blue economy can support investment, industrial capacity, connectivity, and opportunity across the continent, and the political frame for the three days of the summit. Institutional remarks by the Italian Government open the session, followed by a panel with the leaders of Italy’s national business federations, moderated by a senior editor of a leading national newspaper.

For:  The entire blue economy community, with particular relevance for industry leaders, institutional partners, and international delegations.
