Blue Economy in Europe
1) Delta leaderboard and structural profile
The first view shows which deltas are strongest overall, then decomposes the top 10 into four dimensions: port strength, blue-economy activity, innovation ecosystem, and knowledge base.

2) Strategic positioning of deltas
This combines scale and balance: deltas farther to the upper-right pair stronger port systems with stronger innovation ecosystems, while bubble size reflects port goods throughput and color shows blue-economy activity.

3) Port infrastructure explorer
Ports are the backbone of the blue economy, but “importance” depends on what you care about. Use the metric selector to switch between goods volumes, traffic tonnage, wind-linked capacity, shipyards, and labs.

4) City capital and momentum
Here the lens shifts from maritime infrastructure to urban momentum: deal activity over time, and which cities show the strongest blue-economy trend signals in the 2025 city snapshot.

5) Geographic hotspots and startup hubs
The hotspot map combines blue economy trend signals with cumulative deal activity (not only Blue Economy Investments), while the final chart shows which accelerator hubs host the most blue economy startup cohorts and the most follow-on funding in the MedHubs startup dataset.
