Executive Summary of "Building the Blue Innovation Pipeline: Lessons Learned from the United States and Sweden".
While there are many exciting innovations taking place in the “blue” (water-based) economy, the findings of this study indicate that more investment in research and development (R&D) is economically justified. In fact, blue R&D is underfunded by at least 112% compared to worldwide benchmarks. Even if an additional $30-50B (billion) in global funding for R&D reduced the future risks of water environments and increased the economic rewards of water-based industries by just 10%, this would still deliver $183B worth of economic benefit and enhanced environmental protection.
