BlueInvest Day 2026
Project
BlueInvest Day 2026 gathered the European blue economy ecosystem for two days of strategic discussions, collaboration and networking.
The first day hosted the 8th edition of the BlueInvest Investor Capacity Building series, gathering investors and financial stakeholders to explore the future of ocean financing. Discussions focused on innovative financial vehicles, blended finance, corporate capital, public financing opportunities and the tools required to scale investment in sustainable ocean solutions.
The second day brought together innovators, investors, corporates and policymakers for a full programme including the launch of the BlueInvest Investor Report 2026, keynote speeches, expert panels, start-up pitches, technology showcases and dedicated matchmaking opportunities.
A highlight of the event was the BlueInvest Awards 2026, where 15 innovative companies presented their solutions to an investor jury across three categories: Ocean Tech, Ocean Bioresources and Ocean Resilience.
