The sustainable valorisation of marine biomass is a critical frontier in the development of the blue bioeconomy, a sector poised to deliver significant environmental, social, and economic benefits. Recognising the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of this challenge, the BlueRev project—funded by the European Union—has developed the BlueRev Support Tool, an integrated digital platform designed to facilitate innovation and circular value creation from marine biological resources and residues.

The BlueRev Support Tool offers a comprehensive and accessible resource for stakeholders across the marine sector. It provides structured, step-by-step guidance to support decision-making processes related to the sustainable use of marine biomass. The platform is tailored to meet the needs of a diverse user base, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), researchers, policymakers, investors, and educators engaged in advancing marine biotechnology and sustainable marine resource management.

A key feature of the Support Tool is its rich repository of training materials, including detailed manuals and multimedia content designed to build technical capacity and foster understanding of sustainable practices. By showcasing real-world applications through case studies and success stories, the platform offers practical insights that bridge the gap between research and industry implementation.

The tool further enhances user engagement through live and on-demand webinars led by experts, which provide up-to-date information on emerging trends, technologies, and regulatory developments in the blue bioeconomy. This continuous knowledge transfer is complemented by access to an extensive library of scientific publications, allowing users to stay informed on cutting-edge research.

Beyond serving as an educational resource, the BlueRev Support Tool facilitates collaboration among stakeholders by connecting company managers, policymakers, trainers, and project partners within an interactive community environment. This network promotes the exchange of experiences and encourages partnerships that can accelerate the transition towards a circular marine economy.

By integrating these features, the BlueRev Support Tool embodies a holistic approach to sustainable marine resource management. It supports informed decision-making and innovation while reinforcing the principles of circularity, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development goals of the blue bioeconomy.

The tool is now accessible to all interested parties seeking to engage with sustainable marine biomass valorisation and is expected to play a significant role in advancing marine biotechnology innovation across Europe.
