The Blue Economy Cluster Builder project is excited to lead a strategic workshop on the Blue Economy sector in Indonesia and how Scottish organisations can participate and collaborate in this current and upcoming area.

A maritime country with over 17,500 islands, 108,000 km of coastline, and three-quarters of its territory at sea, Indonesia is an exciting region of growing economic activities with tremendous Blue Economy potentials in areas relevant to offshore renewable energy, clean maritime development, marine based biotechnology, sustainable maritime operations, fisheries, aquaculture, and sustainable tourism. However, these potentials have yet to be fully optimised, and there are still some challenges to achieving the country’s Blue Economy aspirations.

In this 180-minute workshop, there will be an interactive introductory session to the Blue Economy opportunities in Indonesia facilitated by Aquatera Ltd. A Scotland – Indonesia Blue Economy case study discussion will be presented and three guest speakers will open a participatory discussion session on the possible opportunities for Blue Economy collaborations between Scotland and Indonesia. The discussion and shared insights will include topics such as renewable energy in the marine environment, biodiversity, aquaculture, and coastal community development, as well as sustainable resources management in islands ecosystems.

Speakers:
• M. Yakob Ishadamy, Conservation Director of Yayasan Ekosistem Lestari (YEL) and Strategic Resources Initiative (SRI)
• Irfan Syarif Arief from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS)
• Dr. Jito Sugardjito, Director of the Office for International Cooperation of National University (UNAS)

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
