The Cerulean Information Factory (CIF) is a demonstration project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop tools and capabilities that can assist marine industries in supporting a transition to a more sustainable future. CIF is named after the blue-green colour, reflecting the need to combine the Blue and Green Economies in order to have a successful Green Transition. The CIF project is part of the ESA “Green Transition Information Factories” (GTIF) initiative https://gtif.esa.int/.
