General Sector Information

Blue Economy
Blue Economy suggests that we can alter the way in which we run our industrial processes and tackle resultant environmental problems, refocusing from the use of rare and high-energy cost resources to instead seek solutions based upon simpler and cleaner technologies. The principals behind Blue Economy want to inspire entrepreneurs to adopt its insights, by demonstrating ways in which this can create economic benefits via job creation, reduced energy use, and more revenue streams from each step of the process, at the same time benefiting the communities involved.

Green Economy
To develop a green economy is the main goal of the industry that is also known as ‘clean-tech’, ‘green-tech’ or ‘enviro-tech’ and implies the application of environmental science in various industries. The green-tech industry mainly runs on high tech innovation. In addition it has taken the finite resources of planet earth into account. Waste reduction, renewable energy, energy efficiency, emissions reduction and biodegradable materials are topics that make this industry play a central role in the current and future economy
