BlueInvest Day is not just about discussions, panel discussions and networking: we believe in celebrating and rewarding the most innovative solutions of the Blue Economy. As part of our commitment to fostering growth and acknowledging outstanding contributions, we are thrilled to reward excellency in three different award categories as an integral part of BlueInvest Day.
By offering the stage to our most innovative community members and giving them the opportunity to pitch in front of a jury, but also a croud of investors, BlueInvest Day 2024 goes beyond being a mere conference: it transforms into a platform where ideas are not only shared, but also recognised - with awards and investment opportunities.
