2. Blue Growth vs ICT
“There is big gap between the Blue
Growth sector and the ICT sector and
immediate actions are needed”
“Digitalisation is in the DNA of Blue
Growth. It is not a choice, it is mandatory.
It is comprehensively used to rethink
services and optimize the total value
chain.”

“The lack of data should not be used for lack of policy/governance
decision. Business and civil society play a key role in data collection
and sharing”
