Startups Shaping the Future of the Blue Economy

The ocean covers over 70% of the Earth's surface, regulates our climate, supports livelihoods for over three billion people, and provides vital ecosystem services. Yet overfishing, plastic pollution, acidification, and climate change are pushing marine systems to the brink.

The global Blue Economy is projected to reach $3 trillion by 2030, driven by investments in sustainable seafood, ocean conservation, marine renewables, and circular innovations. New technologies and regenerative approaches are essential to restoring ocean health while building resilient coastal economies.

This infographic highlights pioneering startups advancing the Blue Economy across four key innovation categories:

  • Sustainable Seafood & Aquaculture: Startups creating alternative seafood solutions, scaling regenerative aquaculture, and improving food security while reducing pressure on wild fisheries.

  • Ocean Restoration & Climate Solutions: Companies restoring marine ecosystems, advancing blue carbon capture, and leveraging ocean-based approaches for global climate mitigation.

  • Plastic Alternatives & Ocean Cleanup: Innovators developing biodegradable materials, reducing microplastic pollution, and scaling cleanup technologies to protect marine environments.

  • Marine Renewable Energy: Startups harnessing tidal, wave, and offshore wind energy to drive clean energy transitions and support resilient coastal economies.

Explore the innovators safeguarding our oceans for future generations!
