Blue Innovation Village

In the heart of Ostend at Anchor 2026 lies the Blue Village – an interactive meeting place where visitors can engage with companies, researchers, maritime schools, and service providers from the blue economy. Don’t expect dry information booths, but rather an inspiring square where you can learn, try things out, and even take your first steps towards a job at sea.
