Forecasting future trends is a crucial action for enhancing the efficacy of policies and the implementation of sound governance strategies. Besides, based on the existing evidence, traditional approaches to governance encounter challenges, including the lack of a transparent planning process and ineffective collective decision-making. This chapter is focused on smart governance and recognizing its drivers as well as understanding the correct path towards sustainability in developing the blue economy (BE). In this chapter, we emphasize the role of smart technology in making governance plans and promoting sustainable development in the blue economy. In addition, this research analyzes the scientific and technological advancements of the blue economy to facilitate the implementation of sustainable policies through effective management practices by the year 2033. We found that to guarantee the perpetuation of a sustainable blue economy, regional governments must allocate resources toward the implementation of smart technologies within the private sector, thereby creating a more conducive investment environment. Consequently, this can stimulate a rise in investment based on promoting technology, ultimately contributing to the overall sustainability of the ocean. By using technology and smart solutions in the creation of governance strategies, developing nations can also have the possibility of realizing and implementing sustainable blue economy strategies. The nature of smart platforms and the reduction in logistics costs facilitate achieving this goal. This research contributes significantly by supporting policymakers’ and stakeholders’ decisions in conditions of uncertainty, and by designing highly relevant research programs that are aligned with current and emerging trends.
