The BSSSC Annual Conference will take place in Klaipeda, Lithuania on 18-20 September.

The focus of the conference is on sustainable maritime economy. The maritime, or blue, economy has a significant importance for the whole Baltic Sea Region, and BSSSC has a vision on a healthy Baltic Sea environment connected with a wide range of sustainable economic and social activities. Clear water, safe maritime traffic and healthy wildlife have concrete effects on the sub-regions. Furthermore, blue growth has a strong potential for sustainable business and innovations in many sub-regions in the Baltic Sea area, and can provide positive input to the prosperity of the whole Baltic Sea Region.

Through interventions, political discussions, sharing best practises and interacting with each other – we hope to stimulate ideas and concrete proposals for making the Baltic Sea Region a model region in the European blue economy. Taking into account the revision of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Action Plan and the upcoming new financial period in EU 2021 - 2027.

The conference will constitute a good opportunity for partners to come together to discuss and learn from good practices and lay ground for future co-operation. We hope to see you there!
