Bermuda is developing a Blue Economy strategy that integrates ocean conservation with economic use. The Bermuda Ocean Prosperity Programme (BOPP), a collaboration between the Government, BIOS, and the Waitt Institute, designates marine areas for long-term protection and responsible development.

There are opportunities for investment in marine technology, research, sustainable fisheries, and ocean-based tourism. The strategy aims to support environmental outcomes while enabling innovation and job creation in ocean industries.

Bermuda is positioned along key transatlantic routes and is home to several operational subsea cable systems. Google’s has announced its Nuvem cable, expected to be operational in 2026, will connect Bermuda directly to the US and Europe, thereby enhancing the island’s role in global data infrastructure.

The cable sector supports broader goals in fintech, cloud services, and digital assets, and aligns with Bermuda’s ambition to strengthen its digital infrastructure and international connectivity.

Bermuda’s hotel sector is entering a new development phase, supported by policy frameworks that enable long-term investment. The Tourism Investment Act 2017 offers tax relief and incentives to local and international developers.

Recent projects include Sankofa House, a 94-room boutique hotel planned for Hamilton. Several pre-approved tourism development sites are available, with regulatory guidance provided by the Bermuda Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism.

Bermuda has managed orbital resources since the 1980s and is home to operators such as SES and EchoStar. The island provides licensing and regulatory support for satellite coordination, earth station infrastructure, and related services.

A national space strategy is in development, expanding Bermuda’s remit to include small satellite licensing, spectrum policy, and insurance. The island’s geographic location, international agreements, and legal framework make it a practical base for commercial space activity.

Bermuda’s Integrated Resource Plan outlines a shift toward 85% renewable electricity by 2035. The plan includes offshore wind and floating solar installations, and prioritises diversification, resilience, and price stability.

Public consultation is ongoing for proposed developments, including a 60MW offshore wind farm. Investors and project developers have opportunities to contribute to Bermuda’s low-carbon transition within a defined policy and regulatory framework.
