The maritime economy is experiencing significant growth. Its value is expected to double by 2030, and digital engineers are among the key drivers of this “Blue Growth.”

The Blue Economy, as defined by the European Union, encompasses all sectors and industries related to oceans, seas, and coasts. It includes marine-based activities (such as shipping, seafood production, and energy generation) as well as land-based operations (like ports, shipbuilding, and coastal infrastructure). Traditional sectors within this economy already support around 4.5 million direct jobs and generate over €650 billion in turnover.
