Dagens første spændende workshop omhandlede ”New opportunities for blue growth and innovation and the value of the regional and national clusters in the EU”.
Med over 100 deltagere i workshoppen nåede man op på over 6 forslag til mulige samarbejdsprojekter for grøn vækst i Det Blå EU. 
•	Best practice for an excellence maritime cluster regional/national – knowledge sharing – how do You support innovation, development, growth and sustainable use of the ocean.
    •	Cluster influence for being the driver for SMVs involvement in Green Growth.
•	Disseminate and dialog about data for national maritime clusters –research based.
•	 Promotion of the Sea importance and value via Maritime Clusters – see our future.
    •	Culture barrier – business –“Whats in it for me” – model for a clusters members
•	Future Business –we have not yet seen – Taskforce for young people – still open minded and “think out of the box”. Cluster facilitate. Do it in another way.
•	EU Super Maritime Cluster – development, facilitation, influence, growth.
    Diskussionen og indlæggene gik på, hvordan EUs maritime SMVer bliver involveret i initiativerne for grøn vækst. Samtidig havde partnerne i workshoppen,  Region Västra Götaland, Marine South East og EMUC lagt op til at der sammen med salen, skulle komme mindst tre projektforslag ud af workshoppen. 
Partnerne vil indkalde til arbejdsmøde, sandsynligvis i København eller Gøteborg  lige efter sommerferien.
