What is BlueActionMatch?
BlueActionMatch is a community platform connecting people working across the blue economy, including algae, aquaculture, marine protected areas, sustainable fisheries, ocean multi-use and blue careers. It replaces BlueBioMatch, which focused specifically on the blue bioeconomy.
Why Did BlueBioMatch Change Its Name?
BlueBioMatch launched as a platform for the blue bioeconomy: a meeting point for startups, researchers, policymakers and funders working on algae, aquaculture and blue biotechnology. As the community grew, membership expanded well beyond bioeconomy topics into marine protected area management, sustainable fisheries and ocean multi-use.
The rebrand to BlueActionMatch reflects that wider scope. The platform is now built for anyone taking action in and for oceans, seas and waters, not only those working in bioeconomy-specific sectors.
How BlueActionMatch Works
The platform is organised around Groups: dedicated spaces where people working on similar topics can meet, exchange knowledge and start new collaborations. Active groups already exist around algae, aquaculture, marine protected areas, sustainable fisheries and ocean multi-use.
Members use BlueActionMatch to:
- Connect with people working on the same challenges
- Exchange knowledge, tools and project results
- Discover new initiatives and opportunities
- Find potential partners and collaborators
- Take part in discussions, webinars and community activities
- List and discover blue economy events, from webinars to conferences and hackathons
Who Is BlueActionMatch For?
BlueActionMatch is open to researchers, entrepreneurs, students, project partners, policymakers and practitioners working anywhere in the blue economy.
How to Join BlueActionMatch
Registration is free and open to the public. Rather than creating an account and stopping there, new members are encouraged to go directly to the Groups relevant to their work, since that’s where most of the exchange happens.
