How can successful Blue Economy strategies from different parts of the world help strengthen governance and cooperation in the Black Sea region?
On 10 September 2026, from 13:00 -15:00 CET, BlueDial will host the online transnational event "Successful Strategic Approaches to Blue Economy Governance", bringing together experts, policymakers, public authorities and Blue Economy stakeholders to exchange practical experiences and discuss successful governance approaches from different countries and sea basins.
The event will focus on how proven practices, and strategic frameworks can contribute to more coordinated and effective Blue Economy policies across the Black Sea region. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from international experiences and explore which approaches could be adapted and transferred to the Black Sea context.
The event will feature international insights and perspectives from:
- Ruben Eiras, Fórum Oceano (Portugal)
- Claude Sirois, Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of Québec (Canada)
- Carlo Kraskovic, Mare FVG (Italy)
- Kristjan Truu, Ministry of Climate (Estonia)
Through presentations and discussion, participants will explore different models of Blue Economy governance, policy coordination mechanisms and regional development strategies that support sustainable growth and cooperation.
The event is open to public administrations, policymakers, academia and research organisations, industry representatives, institutions and agencies, NGOs and civil society organisations, and Blue Economy stakeholders across the Black Sea region and beyond to exchange ideas, share experiences and contribute to stronger cooperation for a sustainable Blue Economy.
