The Blue economy is the evolution of the green economy and its goal is to eliminate the harmful emissions into the open sea. It encourages the use of new technologies that reduce production costs in each marine sector while respecting the marine environment. Hopefully, more investment in all these economic sectors would result in higher revenues and, therefore, an increase in job offers. Good news, in Italy this is already happening.

This “economy of the sea” is rapidly growing in Italy. According to the latest report from Unioncamere, there are over 185,000 Italian companies that already operate in the Blue Economy. Almost 10% of these companies were founded by young people, 21% by women, and more than 5% by foreigners entrepreneurs. This industry creates an added value of 43 billion euros each year, and it involves over 835 thousand workers.
