Closing the loop between the Blue and Circular Economy

Client:

Eellogic managed the #BlueLoop expo, a project showcase of twenty intitiatives demonstrating the opportunities existing at the crossroads of circular economy, fisheries and aquaculture. This exhibition was held during the FARNET EU Maritime & Fish conference on Circular Economy for Fisheries and Aquaculture communities, in partnership with Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Pays Adour Landes Oceanes.

Actions:

• Exhibition planning and management
• Technical set-up, logistics and exhibitor coaching

That was cool:

The exhibition was set up in the maritime college of Ciboure, France, at the heart of workshop rooms where students learn the skills of maritime and fisheries jobs. This allowed students, teachers and local professionals to visit and exchange with circular economy professionals, fablabs and blue economy innovators from all over Europe, it was an eye-opening and horizon-broadening moment for everyone.

Outputs:

• Matchmaking and cooperation opportunities between local companies, industries and research labs
