Specifically, BlueBioTechpreneurs will create a learning and leadership programme around the blue biotech sector, uncovering its wide range of applications in different subsectors of the blue bioeconomy.

Women empowerment will be fostered through ad-hoc activities, including webinars with women entrepreneurs who will serve as role models for girls and young women to be inspired to pursue similar careers.
