durée : 00:04:22 - Chroniques littorales - par : Jose Manuel Lamarque - Pascal Lamy, le coprésident du forum international qui s'est tenu les 7 et 8 juin à Monaco, réunissant acteurs financiers et entrepreneurs engagés dans des activités durables liées à l'océan, présente les objectifs pour donner une nouvelle impulsion à l'économie bleue.
Quadrise Chairman Andy Morrison joined Steve Darling from Proactive to deliver a business update highlighting continued momentum across the company's core initiatives, despite minor delays. Morrison reported that all commitments made during the January funding round remain on track, including the near-finalisation of a key agreement with major shipping customer MSC. He acknowledged that regulatory hurdles and shipping route adjustments had extended legal timelines but stressed the deal is “very, very close” to completion. The company is also making steady headway in Morocco and Panama, with tangible developments expected in the coming quarter. Morrison pointed to rising regulatory support—such as the International Maritime Organization's reinforced environmental targets—as a tailwind for Quadrise, particularly given growing demand for immediate marine fuel solutions like biofuels. On internal changes, Morrison addressed the recent leadership shift with former CEO Jason Miles now serving as Chief Technology Officer. He described the move as a “natural progression” in line with Quadrise's strategic acceleration. Morrison is currently stepping into expanded executive duties while the search for a new CEO is underway. Looking to Q3, Morrison emphasized that visible progress on the company's major international projects will be key for investor confidence. He also referenced broader global focus on ocean sustainability, citing Prince William's remarks at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum as reflective of growing urgency around cleaner shipping solutions—an area where Quadrise is poised to deliver impact. #proactiveinvestors #quadriseplc #aim #lse #qed #businessupdate #energytransistion #Biofuels #ShippingIndustry #SustainableEnergy #MarineFuels #MSC #MoroccoEnergy #PanamaProjects #IMO #EnergyTransition #CleanShipping
Heute tauchen wir ein in die blaue Ökonomie – eine Branche, die alles umfasst, was mit Wirtschaften in und am Wasser zu tun hat. Von Schifffahrt über Tourismus bis hin zur Nahrungsmittelproduktion und Wasserversorgung. Franziska Färber vom “Das Blauen Netzwerk” erklärt uns, wie es aktuell um das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in der blauen Ökonomie steht – und warum echte Innovationen am besten gelingen, wenn man auch über Branchengrenzen hinweg denkt. “Das Blaue Netzwerk” ist selbst ein Förderprogramm für gemeinwohlorientierte KMU und Start-ups. Mit Franziska sprechen wir daher auch über die Rolle von Fördergeldern – und warum sie manchmal helfen, aber nie die Grundlage eines Geschäftsmodells sein sollten.

The conversation highlights the key priorities, challenges and tools needed to scale investment in the blue economy, ultimately outlining the importance of encouraging blue sustainable growth.
À la veille de la Conférence des Nations unies sur l'Océan qui s'ouvre à Nice, les projecteurs sont braqués sur l'économie bleue. Cette « blue economy », en pleine croissance, promet un avenir prospère pour les littoraux, tout en soulevant des questions cruciales sur sa durabilité. L'économie bleue regroupe l'ensemble des activités liées à la mer et aux océans, qu'elles soient traditionnelles – comme la pêche, le transport maritime ou le tourisme côtier – ou innovantes, comme les énergies marines renouvelables, les biotechnologies ou encore les câbles sous-marins. D'après la Banque mondiale, il s'agit de l'utilisation durable des ressources océaniques pour stimuler la croissance économique, améliorer les conditions de vie et préserver les écosystèmes marins.Rien qu'en Europe, cette économie représentait près de 236 milliards d'euros de valeur ajoutée brute en 2023, générant 5 millions d'emplois directs. Des secteurs comme l'éolien offshore explosent avec une croissance de +42 % en un an.Attrait des investisseurs mondiauxAvec un potentiel colossal, les fonds se mobilisent. Entre 2018 et 2023, 13 milliards d'euros ont été investis dans l'économie bleue en Europe. De nouveaux réseaux d'accompagnement, des fonds spécialisés et des institutions comme en France la Banque publique d'investissement ou la Caisse des Dépôts soutiennent activement le développement de cette filière stratégique.Des projets concrets émergent, à l'image des voiliers cargos, qui allient innovation technologique et faible impact environnemental. Mais pour atteindre les objectifs de l'ONU liés aux océans d'ici à 2030, il faudrait mobiliser 750 milliards d'euros supplémentaires.Entre promesses et dérives : les limites d'un modèle à construireSi l'économie bleue se veut durable, certaines pratiques soulèvent des critiques. Des ONG dénoncent un phénomène de « blue washing », où des projets peu vertueux se parent d'un vernis écologique. Exemple marquant : au Sénégal, 90 % de la pêche locale a été décimée suite à l'attribution de licences à des flottes étrangères. En Inde, le projet Sagarmala, visant à construire un port tous les 20 kilomètres, menace gravement les communautés de pêcheurs et les écosystèmes côtiers.La privatisation des littoraux ou l'exclusion des populations locales interrogent sur la gouvernance de cette nouvelle ruée vers la mer. Car « la mer nourrit ceux qui la respectent. »

About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. This points to the truth that the maritime sector holds so much value. How do make the best of these rich marine resources without compromising on the health of our planet and make these resources available for the generation yet unborn? On this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast, my guest, Dr. Dolapo Oluteye introduces us to the concept of ‘Blue economy'. Dr. Dola shares insights about the international frameworks guiding how marine resources are explored, the connection with climate change, and amplifying Africa's voice in the global maritime sector. Ahead of the United Nation's COP29 meeting in Baku, Dr. Dola hint on scaling up innovations like hydrogen-derived fuel already shaping the maritime sector and unblocking financial opportunities to decarbonize the maritime sector.

What is Maine's blue economy? by The Maine Question
Can investing in our Oceans save our Planet? Have you ever heard of the Blue Economy? Do you know how much of the carbon we create or heat we create, gets absorbed by the ocean? Have you ever seen the “Colossal Squid”?- because our guest is on a lifelong mission to find it and film it in it's natural environment. The ocean covers 70% of the planet, but very little of our historic innovations in energy or technology comes from our Oceans. Matt Mulrennan, Director of Investments at the Sustainable Ocean Alliance and it's sister Fund, Seabird Ventures joins Rob to go deep into the emerging field of ocean investing and how sustainable solutions are shaping the blue economy alongside our fast growing “Green Economy.” Matt teaches a masterclass on some incredible data and history, of mammals, other ocean species, the importance of the ocean in our climate crisis, the massive value of the Ocean in our economy, and his own career arc from Expeditionary researcher to Ocean-Blue Economy investor. He tells a few stories of adventurous expeditions he's led in marine preservation across some of the earths most remote places, such as Antarctica, while educating us on the ocean's role in climate regulation and food production. He teaches us that the ocean's impact on our lives and our economies is massive, yet it's just beginning to be explored as an investment frontier. Discover the collaborative efforts driving this new economy and why Los Angeles, California may be its next hub.
