Flanders is internationally recognised for its wide range of marine and maritime companies and research institutes. The brochure 'Gearing up our blue knowledge' gives a clear overview and snapshot of our expertise and achievements in this field.
This publication is a joint effort by the the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), the Blue Cluster, the Provincial Development Agency (POM) West Flanders, and the Department of Work, Economy, Science, Innovation and Social Economy (WEWIS). It was first launched as part of the United Nations’ Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) UN Ocean Decade. The brochure has now been updated in time for the UN Ocean Conference in Nice (9–13 June), highlighting Flanders’ continued commitment to ocean science and innovation.
