DRIVING CHANGE. SCALING IMPACT. SHAPING THE FUTURE BLUE ECONOMY
4-6 NOVEMBER 2025
As political, economic, and climate challenges reshape our world, the need to accelerate a sustainable and resilient blue economy has never been more urgent. The Blue Economy —built on the vast, yet vulnerable ocean— must undergo a profound transformation to remain viable and deliver long-term value.
Tomorrow.BlueEconomy unites the entrepreneurs, corporates, investors, and experts leading this transformation.
With a focus on innovation, industry leadership, education, and real-world impact, it explores how we can scale solutions that serve the planet while driving economic renewal — from ports and shipping to blue food, biodiversity, finance, tourism, and ocean data.
Led by a Strategic Coalition of Partners
Hosted by the City of Barcelona, with the Port of Barcelona as Global Partner and the World Ocean Council and OCEANOVATION as Strategic Partners, Tomorrow.Blue Economy builds a unique bridge between ocean industries, urban transformation, and global climate action.
