BLUEandGREEN Legacy Conference: Adding Value to Marine Bioresources will be organised at CIIMAR headquarters (Porto Cruise Terminal) on the 1st October 2018.

Our seas and oceans with their largely unexplored biodiversity present a high potential for innovation in two different fronts: the better understanding of marine and maritime resources and its biodiversity, and a more efficient exploitation of their economic and scientific potential. Marine biotechnology is the enabling tool that will allow translating this potential into real products and services. Thus, boosting marine innovation through biotechnology-related activities is fundamental for the sustainable exploitation of these resources and for the stimulation of economic growth, turning central the need to establish a road map of opportunities in the marine biotechnological area in Portugal contributing to the European Bioeconomy Strategy.
