Abstract(s)
A crescente relevância do mar, enquanto domínio estratégico para o aproveitamento sustentável dos seus recursos, tem conduzido à formulação de estratégias orientadas para o desenvolvimento da Economia Azul, sobretudo em países dotados de vastos espaços marítimos, como é o caso de Portugal. Neste enquadramento, o presente estudo analisa o contributo da Marinha Portuguesa - instituição de referência no contexto das estratégias para o mar - para o desenvolvimento dos clusters marítimos e, por conseguinte, para a competitividade da Economia Azul. A investigação seguiu uma estratégia qualitativa, raciocínio dedutivo, tendo como desenho um estudo de caso. Foram utilizados como instrumentos de recolha de dados a análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas junto do Fórum Oceano, do Instituto Hidrográfico e da Divisão de Inovação e Transformação, da Marinha Portuguesa. Os resultados evidenciam que a Marinha contribui de forma multifacetada para o desenvolvimento do Cluster do Mar, atuando em cinco eixos principais: transferência de tecnologia de uso dual, formação e capacitação de recursos humanos, promoção da inovação tecnológica, dinamização do mercado interno e apoio à investigação aplicada. Este estudo contribui para uma compreensão integrada do poder naval no contexto económico contemporâneo, destacando o seu papel estratégico para Portugal.
The growing relevance of the sea as a strategic domain for the sustainable exploitation of its resources has driven the development of new strategies aimed at advancing the Blue Economy, particularly in countries with extensive maritime spaces, such as Portugal. Within this framework, the present study examines the contribution of the Portuguese Navy—an institution of reference in national maritime strategies—to the development of maritime clusters and, consequently, to the competitiveness of the Blue Economy. The research adopted a qualitative approach, employing deductive reasoning and a case study design. Data were collected through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews conducted with key stakeholders, including the Fórum Oceano (Portuguese Sea Cluster Association), the Hydrographic Institute, and the Division for Innovation and Transformation of the Portuguese Navy. The findings reveal that the Navy plays a multifaceted role in fostering the development of the Sea Cluster, operating across five key dimensions: the transfer of dual-use technology, the training and capacity building of human resources, the promotion of technological innovation, the stimulation of the domestic market, and support for applied research. This research contributes to an integrated understanding of naval power within the contemporary economic context, underscoring its strategic role for Portugal.
