This study aims to analyze the spillover effects of digitalization, financing, and institutional governance on inclusive blue economic growth in SULAMPUA. By applying aggregated crosstabulation (PODES) to a panel data model of 144 regencies/cities during 2019–2022 in the Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua regions. This study employs three analytical techniques, namely cluster analysis: k-means and location quotient to determine blue economic centers; efficiency analysis: Luenberger productivity index to determine inclusive blue growth; and static panel regression to determine digitalization, financing, and governance. The results show that digitalization and banking financing have a significant positive effect on inclusive blue growth.
