BLUEGent is the business development center of Ghent University in the field of aquaculture and blue life sciences. Their goal is to upscale new research findings from the lab towards sustainable businesses – beit in the format of a spin-off, or a license with industry partners. Their in-house work focusses on advancing blue finance, by developing frameworks and methodologies at the intersection of marine and coastal ecology, finance, emerging markets and governance. They also document new value blue chains and perform blue techno-economic analyses.
