The Blue Economy Symposium is an event focused on the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic development, often featuring research and discussions on topics such as aquaculture, renewable energy, and offshore technology. The Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) has been actively involved in organising and hosting these symposia, including those held as part of OMAE (International Conference on Ocean, Offshore, and Arctic Engineering).
This webinar will highlight five presentations from the Blue Economy Symposium in Vancouver, Canada, held at OMAE2025, providing an opportunity to hear high-quality research and gain insights from industry leaders on the current and future directions of the Blue Economy.
