0. TRENDS & FUTURE OUTLOOK

Trends point to accelerating economic activity inand around the ocean, against the backdrop of asoaring global population, growing affluenceand consumption, and the need for new sourcesof food, energy and minerals.

By 2030 two out of every three fish on ourplates will have been farmed, much of it atsea. Offshore wind capacity is forecast torise almost tenfold by 2030, and seabornetrade is expected to quadruple by 2050.

On land, the ocean-related economy willexperience a surge in investment in coastalinfrastructure, industry and tourism as theglobal migration to cities, and coasts, deepens.At the same time, the risks to coastal populationsof rising sea levels and storm surges as a resultof climate change will drive a wave of defensiveinfrastructure development.

‘‘

In The Economist, The blue economy (WOS 2015)

A new wave of “industrialization” of the ocean and coasts is under

way, the scale of which is only now becoming apparent.

1. CONTEXT

The Blue Growth by Compta Emerging Business presents its model for

technological innovation through oceans and coastal areas to meet the challenges

for the promotion, sustainable growth and competitiveness of the maritime economy.

The sea and the coasts are drivers of the economy. Because of their outward-looking geography, ports and coastal communities have traditionally been centers for new ideas and innovation.

2. VISION

By Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

The Blue Growth by Compta Emerging Business believes in the Portuguese's

natural and human capital, together with its entrepreneurship and innovative capacities,

to leverage a new dimension of technology providers ecosystem, specialised in the

Blue Growth's challenges:

"The Maritme Sillicon Valley".

Rapid technological progress in working offshore in ever-deeper waters, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the need to look at how the 71 % of the planet that is ocean can deliver human necessities such as food and energy in a sustainable way have opened up an opportunity for blue growth with the aim to harness the untapped potential of Europe's oceans, seas and coasts for jobs and growth.

4. DEVELOPMENT MODEL

The Blue Growth by ComptaEmerging Business covers the social

challenges concerning the exploration and transformation of

marine resources, ports and maritime transport and the smart

management of our marine, maritime and costal economy.

Blue Smart Governance

‘‘The path to relative economic, social and ecological sustainability is guaranteed to be littered with failures of every nature and scale. If we recognize them and learn from them, the transition will proceed faster and in some more resourceful and efficient ways.

John Elkington, Economist

01

The seas, the oceans and the costal governance’s areas should be addressed as a new governance layer of other global concerns such as energy, food, atmosphere, outer space, environment, climate, and science and technology. The emerging institutional framework for sustainable development of ocean and its resources, which are the common heritage of mankind, must be part of a model for

global, regional, and national governance for the coming centuries.

Without the smart capability of planning and monitoring, ocean management and the conservation of the environment, responses to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, remain illusory.

Blue Transports & Logistics

‘‘The world economy is highly dependent on shipping, which meets approximately 85% of the global demand for transport. Over time, changes in global growth are expected to lead to changes in the world’s seaborne trade center of gravity.

Tor E. Svensen, President, DNV Maritime and Oil & Gas

02

The market volatility of the shipping & ports creates a potential for high profits, but also for considerable losses.

Shipping

With the current reduced level of world economic growth coinciding with overcapacity in the global fleet, the shipping market is experiencing tough conditions.

Ports & Cities

Economic benefits often spill

over regions, whereas negative impacts are localised in the port-city. How can ports become the drivers again of urban economic growth; and how can negative port impacts be mitigated?

The next few years will be critical for shipping, ports & cities for the balance between supply and demand and between the its Economical, Environmental and Social

impacts.

Blue Resources Exploitation

‘‘We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about - farming replacing hunting.

Jacques Yves Cousteau, filmmaker & scientist03

The aquaculture, the marine tourism, the blue biotechnology, the ocean energy and the seabed mining are the Blue Growth’s five value chains, where we expect sustainable growth.These sectors need forward-looking policies and technological innovation, to further enhance and exploit the current potential and make them more appealing to private sector investors.

Aquaculture is one of the world's fastest growing sectors,

it currently provides the planet with almost half of the fish consumed and we expect to represent 70% in the next 15 years, making these the EU’s most competitive blue economy sectors. And all this, with the new and enhanced logistic and processing industry, offer high-quality products according to environmental, animal health and consumer protection standards.
