Test your solution in a real port environment with our blue economy Lab

Are you developing solutions that need a real marine and port environment to scale? At Gandia Port, the Port Authority of Valencia offers its blue economy lab: a living lab where startups, scaleups, and tech companies can test, validate, and showcase the potential of their innovations directly in a real port ecosystem.

This lab leverages the unique setting of Gandia Port, combining port operations with close links to coastal, marine, and environmental activities, providing an authentic environment for experimentation. It is the ideal testing ground for projects in sustainability, circular economy, aquaculture, renewable energies, marine biodiversity, and port logistics-helping innovators prepare for market launch or pilot collaborations with corporates in the blue economy value chain.

A real testbed for blue economy solutions

From circular economy to marine sustainability, renewable energies, biodiversity protection, aquaculture, and port logistics, the blue economy lab at Gandia Port offers a unique environment for startups and tech companies working with:

Marine drones and autonomous vehicles (ASV, UUV, USV), for monitoring, inspection, or research in coastal and port waters.

Sustainable aquaculture and marine bio-based innovations, tested in real maritime conditions.

IoT and sensorized infrastructures, to measure environmental impact, water quality, energy use, or port activity in real time.

Robotics and automated systems, applied to port operations, waste collection, or habitat restoration.

Renewable energy and circular economy solutions, from offshore wind or wave energy prototypes to recycling and sustainable port management.
