This report’s purpose is twofold. Firstly, a process is developed theoretically for screening, developing, and validating sustainable business model (SBM) blueprints that can ensure generation of sufficient public/private investments into solutions regarding the restoration of oceans and waters. Secondly, it identifies, defines, and analyses theoretical funding models for Mission roll-out, with a specific focus on new, innovative approaches. Details of the funding models and associated recommendations have been captured in a series of factsheets. These can be accessed on the PREP4BLUE website (here) or via Zenodo (here). Please note: The deliverable has been submitted but has yet to be approved by the Commission. As such, the report may be subject to changes.
