THAT'S A WRAP! THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR BEST EDITION TO DATE

Tomorrow.Blue Economy World Congress is the global summit dedicated to promoting and developing the potential of the Blue Economy. After celebrating its last edition within the framework of Smart City Expo World Congress, the event will return in November 2025 with an extended program dedicated to advancing this essential sector.

As unprecedented political, economic and climate challenges appear on the horizon, the need to accelerate the green transition has grown only more imperative. This is perhaps particularly true of the Blue Economy, which is fully intertwined with the ocean, a natural resource with vast potential but that has been left devastated after years of exploitation. Tomorrow.Blue Economy World Congress aims to bring together the experts and companies making waves within the sector, showcasing the interrelation between environment, society and economy through an interdisciplinary focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability and education.
