The Blue Economy Symposium is an event focused on the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic development, often featuring research and discussions on topics such as aquaculture, renewable energy, and offshore technology. The Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) has been actively involved in organising and hosting these symposia, including those held as part of OMAE (International Conference on Ocean, Offshore, and Arctic Engineering).
This webinar will highlight five presentations from the Blue Economy Symposium in Vancouver, Canada, held at OMAE2025, providing an opportunity to hear high-quality research and gain insights from industry leaders on the current and future directions of the Blue Economy.
Facilitated by Prof Chien Ming Wang and Dr Yunil Chu, The University of Queensland/Blue Economy CRC . Followed by Q&A.
This webinar explores the cutting-edge advancements in deep-cycling offshore seaweed mariculture, a “stellar technology” poised to revolutionise ocean regeneration and sustainable economies. Led by Dr. Brian von Herzen, Dr. Joseph Rauch, and Steve Hamilton, the session will delve into the automation, scaling, and commercialisation of these innovative platforms with Prof Jeff Wright discussing commercially scalable hatchery and grow-out methods for offshore cultivation of kelp.
Attendees will learn about the ecological benefits, including carbon removal and climate repair, alongside the intricate engineering and operational strategies—from remote command and control to robust structural design—that are making large-scale, cost-effective deployment a reality for coastal communities across Australasia.
Engineering Ocean Solutions (EOS) is the premier annual festival that attracts engineers, innovators, researchers and leaders who are engineering solutions to ocean-related challenges.
The 3 days of programming includes site study tours, conference, keynote presentations, panel discussions, exhibits, pitches, innovation challenges and social events.
EOS provides the ideal opportunity for collaboration on pre-commercial technologies, cross-sector collaboration and innovations in design, manufacturing and operations.
Join for an unforgettable evening at this year’s Awards Night—where the subsea and ocean-based energy community comes together to celebrate excellence, innovation, and industry impact.
