On March 16, 2022, The Bridge Tank held the final workshop in a series of three with the mandate of the French Development Agency on blue economy in the Bay of Bengal (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka). This workshop aimed at the identification of possible bilateral and regional cooperation with the contribution of the French know-how in the maritime field. It also aimed at open up the conversation to design solutions which the French side could contribute in response to the challenges identified during the first two workshops in collaboration with key players in the Bay of Bengal region.

The discussion was based on 6 main takeaways in terms of needs and gaps identified from the first two workshops:

-The role of blue economy in the region
-The role of data
-Improving coordination
-Strengthening private and public cooperation
-Promoting institutional capacity building in front of data collection and coordination
-Developing pilot projects

This workshop was comprised of three closed-door panels:

Panel 1: Institutional cooperation and ambitions at regional level with the support of French know-how
Panel 2: Developing nationally and regionally viable projects to enhance the value chains of blue economy
Panel 3: Enhancing shared resources through a regional network & general conclusion
