As a member of the WestMED network, Leancubator had the honor of participating in the international conference themed "Sustainable Blue Economy," held from September 29 to 30 in Tunisia.

The conference focused on major objectives such as the effective management and sustainable exploitation of ocean, sea, lake, and river resources, as well as the opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of new technologies in the blue economy and beneficial partnerships and cooperation in this regard.

Notable participants included the Cluster Blue Italian Growth, the Tunisian Maritime Cluster, the WestMed National Hub for Italy, and OGS, along with representatives from the five countries of the Greater Maghreb. The initiative featured a workshop on Blue Skills, where participants presented opportunities for capacity building in the sustainable green economy. There was also a guided tour of the port of Radès, highlighting the digitization of ports and potential internal and external expansions.

We would like to thank the CMT - Tunisian Maritime Cluster and the BIG Cluster for the initiative, as well as the Italian Embassy in Tunisia for supporting this initiative with the aim of including various African countries in the vision of international cooperation and exchange.
