Oudenburg is also happy to participate in the story of the blue economy, one of the fastest growing sectors in our country. Romina Vanhooren, mayor of Oudenburg: “We have a lot of ambitions for our country in that area. Be it for the offshore sector, blue tourism, the port of Ostend. But all these ambitions and the employment associated with them do not stop at the borders of the coastal municipalities. This is also a very important sector for the hinterland. We now want to put our shoulders to the wheel together. “
The municipalities and many other organizations have an action plan ready. In addition to organizing job fairs, they also want to start an educational operation for schools.
