THE LIGHTHOUSE

the-house

Welcome to the BlueTechPort Sant Bertran Innovation Hub, a center dedicated to fostering innovation in all sectors related to the Blue Economy.

Set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean and mere minutes from the city center, this unique hub resides in the first of six warehouses of the historic Barcelona port storage facilities. By 2027, it will expand to the rest of the warehouses and it will span over 25,000 square meters — a dynamic environment where large companies, startups, and emerging sectors can come together to shake up the Blue Economy landscape.
