About the Program
The Blue Economy Mission 50 Accelerator, supported by HDFC Bank, is a strategic initiative aimed at nurturing and scaling 50 promising startups operating within the marine and blue economy sectors. This mission focuses on fostering innovation, sustainability, and economic growth in areas such as fisheries, aquaculture, marine biotechnology, and ocean conservation. The selected startups receive comprehensive support including expert mentorship from industry leaders to refine their business models and technologies. In addition, the top three startups will get a financial support of up to ₹30 lakhs, enabling them to further develop and commercialize their solutions. The program also facilitates valuable networking opportunities, connecting startups with potential partners, collaborators, and investors to accelerate growth. As part of the initiative, the Blue Economy Mission 50 Compendium was launched to showcase these innovations.
