Registration is now open for the Blue Economy Hacks, collaborative workshops promoted within the framework of the European project MED-Hubs – Mediterranean Blue Economy Hubs, dedicated to developing innovative solutions for the Blue Economy in the Mediterranean.
The Blue Economy Hacks will take place online on 20/02/2026 for the Italian Testbed on small-scale fisheries, and on 25/02/2026 for the Spanish Testbed on marine renewable energy. These structured sessions of dialogue and co-design aim to identify bottlenecks, territorial priorities and innovation opportunities in key sectors of the maritime economy.
The two workshops will help surface concrete needs and co-create solution concepts that may be further developed, tested and scaled within the MED-Hubs programme.
