Brazil is preparing to host a major conference focused on blue growth next month in Recife.

The ‘Brazilian – European joint actions on Blue Growth’ conference will take place on 11 November and is based on co-operation between the state of Pernambuco and the Intercity Collaboration of South-West Coast of Finland. Academics, businesspeople and government representatives will consider projects, policy and possible areas of co-operation in research, innovation and science relating to blue growth. New marine technologies will also be discussed and how they may encourage economic growth and new jobs, as well as resource sustainability.

The event is being hosted by the Pernambuco State Department of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Finland, together with the European Union/European External Action Service, Belgium, France, Germany, Portugal and Norway.
