The BLUE
PORTS project proudly participated in Ecomondo 2025, one
of Europe’s foremost exhibitions dedicated to the green and circular economy,
held in Rimini, Italy between 4-7 November 2025, gathering around 100.000
participants, amongst them companies, start-ups, researchers, innovators, and
policymakers.
Recognized
for its innovative contribution to the sustainability of European ports, BLUE
PORTS was selected as one of the flagship European initiatives, and showcased
at the European Commission’s stand, hosted by the European Climate,
Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) and the European
Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), among other outstanding
EU-supported projects.
Representatives
from the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems Laboratory of the
Technical University of Crete (ReSEL@TUC)—the project’s coordinating
partner—presented the project’s vision and key outcomes, highlighting how BLUE
PORTS is accelerating the green transition of European ports through
the certification of the ports’ and port operators’ personnel.
The
participation of BLUE PORTS marks a significant milestone that highlights the
impact of sustainable innovation in shaping the future of European ports.
