Blue21 made significant waves at this year’s World Conference on Floating Solutions in Hong Kong, bringing cutting-edge research and passionate expertise to the global stage. Our team, co-founder Rutger de Graaf, Head of Engineering Rui Gomes, and Architect Barbara Dal Bo Zanon, demonstrated our commitment to pioneering sustainable and resilient Floating Solutions that harmonize advanced technology with ecological preservation.

Highlights of our impactful presence included:

• Showcasing Dutch leadership and expertise in designing and engineering floating solutions on maritime conditions
• Presenting groundbreaking research on water quality impacts of floating structures, a collaborative work between Blue21 and INDYMO
• Delving deep into ecological enhancement strategies for large-scale floating developments

Engaging with international experts, researchers, and policymakers reinforced our mission: to design floating structures that not only adapt to climate challenges but actively contribute to environmental sustainability. We’re not just creating floating spaces; we’re engineering a floating future that respects, protects, and regenerates our planet’s most precious resource – water.

A heartfelt thank you to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Society of Floating Solutions (Singapore) for organizing the conference and bringing together global visionaries committed to reimagining our relationship with water.

Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of floating innovation!
