On 19 October 2026, Leancubator co-organised the #WestMED National Event in Algeria, held at Naya Hotel in Bab Ezzouar, Algiers, under the theme “Towards a Sustainable Blue Economy in Algeria.”
 
Co-organized by the Directorate General for Fisheries and Aquaculture (DGPA/MADRP) as the national coordinator of WestMed, and LEANCUBATOR, Sustainable Innovation Hub, with the support of the European Union and the WestMED Assistance Mechanism, the event brought together more than 118 participants representing 11 blue economy sectors, including public institutions, private sector stakeholders, researchers, and financial institutions.
 
Key highlights from the event:
 
Exploring opportunities across the blue economy, from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture to maritime transport, tourism, renewable energy, and digitalisation.
 
Showcasing WestMED’s progress and success stories in Algeria, including initiatives such as POWER4MED, ECO CRUISING FUTOUR, CALLMEBLUE - Cluster Alliance Med Blue, and MEDIGREEN.
 
Sharing funding opportunities at national and regional levels to support innovative projects and sustainable growth.
 

Strengthening innovation support mechanisms by addressing the specific needs of incubating and accelerating innovative blue economy projects, while exploring the role of maritime clusters in fostering collaboration, facilitating access to resources, and enhancing sectoral competitiveness.
 
The event concluded with a series of recommendations aimed at translating discussions into concrete actions to advance Algeria’s sustainable blue economy and preserve its marine and coastal ecosystems.
 
A valuable opportunity to connect stakeholders, share experiences, and build new pathways for a more innovative and sustainable blue economy in Algeria.
