The world’s oceans contribute and facilitate many activities that benefit humans, including shipping, renewable energy, fishing, tourism and resource extraction. Collectively these activities make up the Blue Economy, which the World Bank estimates contribute about $1.5 trillion to the global economy (and the OECD believes this figure will double to $3.0 trillion by 2030). 

How are these activities developed and managed? What technologies are accelerating change? What can we expect in the near future? And how is climate change impacting the Blue Economy?

The panel featuring Dominique Roddier (PhD ’00), Kirsi Tikka (MS ’84 & PhD ’89) and Andrea Bertolotti (MEng ’86 & MBA ’93) will seek to answer these questions as they relate to ocean shipping and renewable energy. 

We invite all UC Alumni, Students and Guests to this riveting panel followed by a delicious Turkish dinner across the street at Antalya Restaurant.
