Blue economy

What the blue economy means? Amongst others it means working with what is locally available, rely on cooperation instead of competition and seeing 'waste' as a raw material. The former Tropicana is a meeting place for pioneers and enterprising minds. Tens of companies work from this special place, others visit it for events or business programs.

Eventlocation

Giving a presentation in The Dome, underneath the glass roof and green slide, or organizing a workshop in the former boardroom. De spaces you can rent at BlueCity are unique and the history of the building can't be missed. Looking for a different kind of place to organize a meeting, talk or diner? BlueCity is here to help! With circular catering and a view over the famous Rotterdam bridges.

Bar Stroom

To eat a circular, local and waste free meal you have to go to Bar Stroom. On the menu you'll find falafel made of vegetable waste, plant-based köfte and more. While sitting on the terrace, overlooking the Maas, you can drink a beer from the in-house brewer Vet&Lazy.
