The Thematic Portfolio of projects is a networking action of the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, running from February 2026 to February 2028. Part of the Partnership's additional activities, the Thematic Portfolio aims to connect ongoing projects addressing the same theme regardless of their funding source (Partnership co-fund, or other European or national funding). The primary goal of this action is to provide the selected R&I projects with the platform to create and reinforce the connection between projects through networking activities. 

Two Thematic Portfolios have been launched so far:

• Thematic Portfolio 1: Innovations and digitalisation for low-impact sustainable small-scale fisheries management in EU sea-basins; and
• Thematic Portfolio 2: Innovations for boosting sustainability in marine algae cultivations and circularity in the blue bioeconomy.
