Welcome to the Danish Ocean Cluster

An organisation with the aim of strengthening commercial relations within “blue business”. Our key focus is innovative and circular business thinking within or related to fishery, aquaculture, technology, energy and industry in the Danish fishing ports. We are convinced that an unleashed potential exists in building stronger commercial relations across the North Atlantic region.

100% flow

We work to fully utilize resources. Through collaboration and the integration of companies, we ensure that nothing in the production process goes to waste. The fish and its by-products are just as valuable as side streams from water, energy, and heat — everything has potential.

Who are we

We work to strengthen the blue economy through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing. Learn more about who we are, what we believe in, and how we create value for our members and the ocean.

Our members

Our members are at the core of Danish Ocean Cluster. They represent the entire blue value chain – from companies and entrepreneurs to knowledge institutions and public stakeholders. Together, we share knowledge, build new connections, and develop solutions that strengthen both business and the marine environment.
