The Blue Economy Summit was conceived and is promoted by One Ocean Foundation. It brings together internationally renowned leaders from business, finance, academia, society, and government to discuss the current state of the ocean and the urgent need to mobilize greater financial resources for the protection and restoration of Blue Natural Capital.

Each year, the event engages hundreds of participants, including students and researchers, and addresses key topics such as biodiversity loss, technological innovation to tackle ocean-related challenges, and emerging opportunities in the Blue Economy. One of its main goals is to foster partnerships that drive collaboration and innovative strategies, delivering tangible solutions to protect the health of the ocean and marine ecosystems.
