The Webinar on Blue Growth in Portugal - See the Recording and Opportunities for Cooperation
"Norway and Portugal share an ocean and together make up over 50% of the European maritime coast. We share social, economic and environmental interest in connection to our common ocean, which is also our common future"
These were words of H.E. Tove B. Westberg, Norway's Ambassador to Portugal, as she addressed participants at the webinar on 15 April.
A 160 participants from Portugal, Norway and Iceland followed the EEA Grants Webinar on Blue Growth live. The webinar was followed by a matchmaking event where 54 participants met in bilateral B2B meetings aimed to establish cooperation on sustanable blue growth.
