Mission and Vision Statement
A climate neutral, sustainable and productive Blue Economy (SBEP) partnership will enable a just and inclusive transition to a climate-neutral, sustainable and productive blue economy for key intervention areas for healthy oceans and the wellbeing of citizens in harmony with nature. By mobilising relevant stakeholders from the quadruple helix to co-create and co-deliver knowledge-based solutions / innovative governance models combining financial and in-kind resources, SBEP targets the Green Deal and Digital Europe objectives as well as contributes to the Global Earth Observing System. Integration of the sea-basins initiatives and strategies will ensure that impact is delivered at local level as well as internationally.

Partnership Specific Impact Pathway
Partnership’s Key Performance Indicators
Synergies With Other European and National Initiatives
Sea –Basin and Atlantic Ocean Integration(Intended)
Sea-basins and Atlantic Ocean initiatives have delivered in the last years via SRIAs notable key results for the blue economy, including better cooperation and capacity building. The governance structures of such initiatives differ from basin to basin and in some of the regions, conventions or the European Commission are also playing a major role. Furthermore, the Horizon Europe mission Restore our Ocean and Waters will address regional lighthouses. Via structured coordination among relevant sea basin programmes, strategies and initiatives, including macro regional strategies, the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) intends to contribute to such integration as added value for co-creation, in order to generate impact at the local level. By supporting the implementation of these strategies, and at the same time contributing to the EU internationalisation and global cooperation strategy, this approach will guarantee alignment and strengthen the ERA beyond Europe
Connected Partnerships and Initiatives (Intended)
From the outset of the SBEP’s intervention areas, coordination will be made with relevant European co-funded and co-programmed partnerships as well as Joint Programming Initiatives to foster alignment and exchange praxis as well as avoiding duplication. Key partners include:
- Joint Programming Initiatives: Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans and Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe;
- Partnerships: Rescuing biodiversity to safeguard life on earth, Zero Emission Waterborne Transport, Clean Energy Transition, Water Security for the Planet, and Safe and Sustainable Food Systems for People, Planet and Climate;
- Open Science Cloud: Artificial Intelligence, Data and Robotics, EIT Digital, EIT Raw Materials, and the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs.
Joint scoping exercises or assessment of projects’ results are example of possible coordinated actions.
Follow-Up of ERANET Cofunds (Intended)
Following up key building blocks of the blue economy, ERA will ensure higher impact. In this regard the achievements of the ERANET MarTERA on maritime technologies, the Blue Bioeconomy Cofund and the OceanERA will be taken up by SBEP.
