Claudia Parera Blanch, Managing Director of Barcelona Clúster Nàutic, participated in Strategic Cluster Week UK 2025, an initiative organised by ACCIÓ and held across London and Oxford, with the aim of gaining first-hand insight into internationally recognised models of innovation, collaboration and business growth.
Throughout the programme, participants visited leading institutions including the London Stock Exchange, Connected Places Catapult, the UK Parliament and the University of Oxford, while also engaging with experts in innovation, leadership, artificial intelligence, digital ethics, technology transfer and business financing.
The experience provided valuable new perspectives on competitiveness, open innovation, sustainability and the connection between business, knowledge and institutions—key elements in strengthening Barcelona’s maritime ecosystem and creating new opportunities for the members of Barcelona Clúster Nàutic.
Barcelona Clúster Nàutic remains committed to bringing international best practices to the sector and reinforcing Barcelona’s position as a leading hub for the blue economy, innovation and collaborative growth.
