Marine business parks – new opportunities for cooperation

Norway has an ambition to increase the value creation from the sea. Existing industries change and new ones emerge. In the long term, there will be a greater rift for the most attractive sea areas. We should avoid a development where the level of conflict increases and the climate and nature crisis worsen. It is necessary to identify nature-positive solutions that can contribute to more value creation without increasing the conflicts. One possible solution can be marine business parks.
