Javier Franco, director of the Canary Islands Agency for Research, Innovation and the Information Society (ACIISI), stated that Fuerteventura should not turn its back on the sea but rather open a gateway to the ocean for the well-being of its residents. In a recent interview, he emphasized that the blue economy is progressing as a key driver of strategic diversification in the Canary Islands. This approach integrates innovation and sustainability while aiming to transform the archipelago’s productive model.
Franco participated in the discussion alongside Juan Luis López, director of Canarian Ports, and Javier Roo, director of international R&D projects at the Canary Agency. The focus of their policies is to harness sustainable development opportunities offered by the surrounding ocean.
