The World Ocean Council (WOC) is set to launch its Global Blue Finance Summit as the first international finance event series focused on ocean sustainable development. BlueFIN is a cornerstone of WOC’s new partnership with the City and Port of Barcelona. Through this collaboration, we will develop the leading global hub for the Blue Economy in Barcelona.
BlueFIN 2022 will bring together private and public finance leaders from across the spectrum of marine and coastal investment. The goal: to harness financial flows and create investment opportunities for positive ocean impact.
BlueFIN is designed for finance and investment professionals engaged or interested in the sustainable ocean economy. This includes: asset owners and managers, ocean funds and impact investors, institutional investors, family offices and philanthropic investors, corporate investors and venture capital, government funding agencies and multilateral organizations.
