We are a social enterprise

We want to inspire and empower land-based cities to expand on the water. We know it’s possible, but we can’t do this alone. That’s why we are not your average company. We are a social enterprise and collaboration platform, meaning you can join us. We need ambassadors who spread the word, experts with relevant knowledge, as well as investors to get things done.

things we do

WE BUILD ON WATER

From early ideas until building it, Blue21 gets it done. We take concrete steps, deal with obstacles, get decision makers on board, arrange permits and select the right partners for the job.

WE BUILD STRONG PARTNERSHIPS

All kinds of expertise are needed to realize floating projects. That’s why we closely collaborate with international partners in various fields. Like ecologists, lawyers and political decision makers.

WE CREATE AWARENESS

Global awareness about floating urban development is needed, because we believe it’s the most promising solution to global problems, such as land scarcity and flooding. So we love giving lectures and interviews.

WE DO RESEARCH

Technically, a floating city can be build easily. Besides that, innovation in application, legislation, holism and policymaking is needed. We do research ourselves and stimulate it amongst universities worldwide.

Our DNA

Getting things done is in our DNA. We love to actually do something instead of just talking about it.
That’s why for more than eight years we conceptualize, design, realize and do research on floating projects. We test what works and what doesn’t. And keep on researching, innovating and improving.
