Blue economy at the heart of a hackathon in Annaba: Opportunities for investors and project leaders

news-detail

 

With its maritime capital, scientific potential, and already existing maritime and coastal infrastructure, Algeria’s 2,148km-long coastline offers considerable potential for the development of the blue economy. With this, the fields remain open for investment and innovation in Algeria in the sectors of marine biotechnology, sustainable aquaculture, ecological tourism, mining activities, services and knowledge production. With funding from the European Union, Algeria adopted in 2021 its National Blue Economy Strategy (SNEB 2030) and updated its National Strategy for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (SN GIZC 2030). The SNEB provides the vision and guiding principles that will guide the government, its partners and civil society towards 2030. Thus was born the Blue Economy - Fisheries and Aquaculture Program, funded by the European Union and whose main partner is the Ministry of Fisheries and Fisheries Production, whose primary objective is to contribute to the sustainable development of the blue economy in Algeria in coherence with the SNEB. In conclusion, the researchers and experts participating in the first hackathon organized in the province of Annaba, agreed that ‘’ to take better account of the blue economy in an era of climate challenges, we need to invest in the protection of marine spaces, oceans and seas, for an optimal preservation of its resources and of its entire ecosystem.”
