Blue Economy
and Sustainable Islands Forum
We look forward to seeing you at the Virtual Island Summit!
About the event
At the Blue Economy and Sustainable Islands Forum in Madeira, Portugal, we explored the potential of sustainable ocean-based industries to drive economic growth while preserving the health of our planet, and our attendees were part of the conversation on building a sustainable blue economy for the future.
This exciting event brought together industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and experts to share insights and innovative solutions for financing blue economy projects. Through engaging panel discussions, informative keynote speeches, and interactive networking opportunities, participants gained a deep understanding of the unique opportunities and challenges facing the blue economy sector.
With a focus on sustainable development, the Blue Economy and Sustainable Islands Forum provided a platform for stakeholders to collaborate and discuss the role of finance in supporting ocean-based industries that promote economic growth and environmental stewardship.
Event Venue
The event was held at the Fórum Machico in the Madeira island in Portugal. Some of our team members were present at the venue: James Ellsmoor, Kata Magyar & Maria J. Aguiar.
