Building the Foundation of a Thriving Blue Future
Since 2022, Ravenry has been working with global and regional partners like UNDP to connect the dots between policy and people, innovation and opportunity, knowledge and impact, building the foundation of a thriving blue future.
At Ravenry, we believe that building a thriving Blue Economy means more than protecting our oceans, it means empowering the people, ideas, and systems that depend on them - all in all, winning for the blue
Winning for the blue
For us, Winning for the Blue means shaping a Blue Economy that is commercially lucrative, inclusive, and sustainable. The path to this vision lies in providing the essential accesses for the entrepreneurs in the blue sectors ("bluepreneurs") to funding, innovation, markets, communities, and more that turn potential into impact.
Together with our partners, we developed a framework that outlines eight essential dimensions of the Blue Economy. Designed as a comprehensive lens, these dimensions help evaluate how well an ecosystem enables growth: access to finance, innovation, education, talent, partnerships, markets, communities, and government support.

We recently released a report highlighting Indonesia’s under-reported coastal communities, and hosted an event to bring greater attention to their challenges and potential.
At the heart of it is Indonesia, Indonesia is home to the largest coastal communities and holds immense blue economy potential, yet these communities often receive little attention. That’why we are developing this report, Indonesia’s Coastal Communities: Vital but Vulnerable.
Coastal communities are a USD 1.3 trillion opportunity which are mostly left untapped. By matching finance to coastal realities and investing in human and physical capital, Indonesia can turn its coastal zones from vulnerable peripheries into resilient growth hubs.

Beyond Collaboration: Driving Innovation Across the Blue Economy
Beyond our flagship collaborations, we’ve and supported a range of projects advancing the blue economy from waste management and innovation challenges to ecosystem mapping
Project 1 - Waste Management Assessment & EPPIC Replication
Ending Plastic Pollution Innovation Challenge (EPPIC)
Strengthening circular systems in Indonesia’s coastal tourism hubs
Plastic waste and marine debris remain among the greatest challenges for archipelagic nations like Indonesia, which produces over 7.8 million tonnes of plastic waste annually with 4.9 million tonnes mismanaged.
Supported by UNDP and ASEAN partners, the Ending Plastic Pollution Innovation Challenge (EPPIC) introduced a new approach: open innovation for local solutions. In Mandalika, Lombok, Ravenry led a baseline assessment identifying 11.2 tonnes of waste generated annually across coastal zones, forming the foundation for data-driven interventions.
Following the success in Lombok, a replication study in Labuan Bajo assessed waste hotspots, tourism impacts, and institutional gaps informing the next phase of EPPIC to scale proven solutions nationwide. Through community participation and data-backed design, the program is paving the way for replicable, evidence-based plastic management models across Indonesia’s coastal regions.
Project 2 - Ocean Based Accelerator Market Study
Ocean-Based Accelerators in Asia Pacific
Mapping the growth of ocean innovation ecosystems
Commissioned by the AIS Forum, this study by Ravenry mapped the emerging ecosystem of ocean-based startups and accelerators across Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Caribbean.
The research identified an estimated 533 ocean-focused startups in Asia Pacific, operating in sectors such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, waste management, renewable energy, and ocean data.
It also highlighted active accelerators from Hatch Blue (Singapore) to OceanHub Africa and PIER71 that are shaping innovation pipelines for sustainable ocean industries.
By connecting innovation support systems, venture funds, and technical partners, this study establishes a roadmap for scaling ocean entrepreneurship and catalyzing investment in blue technologies.
Through our collaboration throughout the years with global organisations such as UNDP, we've generated insights and build framework that connect archipelagic and island nations, foster ocean innovation.
Whether through market insights, policy dialogue support, or improving access to key resources, Ravenry has enabled Blue Economy actors to transform ocean challenges into shared opportunities.

In Mandalika, Lombok, Ravenry led a baseline assessment identifying 11.2 tonnes of waste generated annually across coastal zones, forming the foundation for data-driven interventions.
Following the success in Lombok, a replication study in Labuan Bajo assessed waste hotspots, tourism impacts, and institutional gaps informing the next phase of EPPIC to scale proven solutions nationwide. Through community participation and data-backed design, the program is paving the way for replicable, evidence-based plastic management models across Indonesia’s coastal regions.
Project 2 - Ocean Based Accelerator Market Study
Ocean-Based Accelerators in Asia Pacific
Mapping the growth of ocean innovation ecosystems
Commissioned by the AIS Forum, this study by Ravenry mapped the emerging ecosystem of ocean-based startups and accelerators across Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Caribbean.
The research identified an estimated 533 ocean-focused startups in Asia Pacific, operating in sectors such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, waste management, renewable energy, and ocean data.
It also highlighted active accelerators from Hatch Blue (Singapore) to OceanHub Africa and PIER71 that are shaping innovation pipelines for sustainable ocean industries.
By connecting innovation support systems, venture funds, and technical partners, this study establishes a roadmap for scaling ocean entrepreneurship and catalyzing investment in blue technologies.
Through our collaboration throughout the years with global organisations such as UNDP, we've generated insights and build framework that connect archipelagic and island nations, foster ocean innovation.
Whether through market insights, policy dialogue support, or improving access to key resources, Ravenry has enabled Blue Economy actors to transform ocean challenges into shared opportunities.

Building the Foundation of a Thriving Blue Future
Since 2022, Ravenry has been working with global and regional partners like UNDP to connect the dots between policy and people, innovation and opportunity, knowledge and impact, building the foundation of a thriving blue future.
At Ravenry, we believe that building a thriving Blue Economy means more than protecting our oceans, it means empowering the people, ideas, and systems that depend on them - all in all, winning for the blue
Winning for the blue
For us, Winning for the Blue means shaping a Blue Economy that is commercially lucrative, inclusive, and sustainable. The path to this vision lies in providing the essential accesses for the entrepreneurs in the blue sectors ("bluepreneurs") to funding, innovation, markets, communities, and more that turn potential into impact.
Together with our partners, we developed a framework that outlines eight essential dimensions of the Blue Economy. Designed as a comprehensive lens, these dimensions help evaluate how well an ecosystem enables growth: access to finance, innovation, education, talent, partnerships, markets, communities, and government support.
Eight Essential Dimensions to Win for The Blue
Access to Fund
Link capital to credible blue pipelines.
Access to Innovation
Surface, vet, and test solutions that fit local needs.
Access to Education
Build capabilities for founders, officials, and youth.
Access to Talents
Mobilizevetted experts and practitioners.
Access to Partners
Curate coalitions across public, private, and community.
Access to Market
Create routes to buyers and adoption.
Access to Community
Center coastal voices and insights.
Access to Government
Align with policy windows and programs.

The Trillion-Dollar Potential of the Blue Economy
The Blue Economy is worth trillions of dollars supporting the livelihoods of nearly 3 billion globally and its potential is still largely untapped
Ocean-related industries generate $2.5 trillion of economic value globally and support almost 3 billion people’s livelihoods in industries including seafood, port construction, and coastal tourism.
Aquaculture continues to be the fastest growing food sector that enhances food security and nutrition globally. The aquaculture industry is valued at $243 billion and employs 20 million people worldwide.
Blue sector holds immense potential for innovators and investors alike, expanding beyond the green sector. It encompasses a vast range of industries with significant untapped market potential, providing room to pioneer innovative solutions that solve pressing environmental challenges and make a meaningful impact on the future of our planet.

We recently released a report highlighting Indonesia’s under-reported coastal communities, and hosted an event to bring greater attention to their challenges and potential.
At the heart of it is Indonesia, Indonesia is home to the largest coastal communities and holds immense blue economy potential, yet these communities often receive little attention. That’why we are developing this report, Indonesia’s Coastal Communities: Vital but Vulnerable.
Coastal communities are a USD 1.3 trillion opportunity which are mostly left untapped. By matching finance to coastal realities and investing in human and physical capital, Indonesia can turn its coastal zones from vulnerable peripheries into resilient growth hubs.
“Ravenry pioneered the first extensive report about coastal community in Indonesia” - Dr Derry, The World Bank
Independently published by Ravenry, this research aims to provide investors, banks, public and private sector, NGOs & development agencies with an introduction to coastal communities in Indonesia. It offers an overview of their current conditions, financial capabilities and development opportunities, with the goal to encourage active participation in the growth of Indonesia’s coastal areas.
