The Baltic Sea's role in driving the next wave of innovation in the global blue economy

Miina Mäki, Senior Specialist in Marine Protection at the John Nurminen Foundation, argues that the Baltic Sea is an ideal test-bed for research and development due to its significant potential for cross-border cooperation, which fosters innovation in new goods and services derived from biological resources. For example, the Finnish startup Origin by Ocean is conducting a pilot project to harvest blue-green algae from the Baltic Sea, where excessive algae blooms affect up to 97% of the water's surface. The collected algae will be used in a bio-refining process to produce sustainable, bio-based chemicals designed to replace traditional oil-based ingredients in consumer products such as sunscreen. At Kiilto, we intend to use Origin by Ocean's bio-based raw materials in our product development for hygiene and cleaning products.
