Welcome to the Congress of:

OCEANS

17 NOV 2022

Fira Barcelona · Gran Via Venue

Tomorrow.Oceans is the new global summit dedicated to promoting and developing the potential of the Blue Economy. It will celebrate its first edition within the framework of Smart City Expo World Congress 2022.

The potential for our oceans is vast, but years of exploitation have left them devastated. The Blue Economy provides a holistic alternative to existing models, promoting sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth that can equally improve the health of ocean ecosystems.
Tomorrow.Oceans (17 November, Barcelona) will gather national and international experts on the blue economy and the sectors that make it up, showcasing the interrelation between environment, society and economy through an interdisciplinary focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, education, technology and collaboration.

With unprecedented political, economic and climate challenges on the horizon, the need to accelerate the green transition grows only more imperative.

This is perhaps particularly true of Blue Economy sectors, which are fully intertwined with the natural environment.

Tomorrow.Oceans aims to bring together those with the insights and experience to advance this essential sector. The 2022 program will provide full focus on three key areas of action: Blue Economic Activity, Marine Environmental Challenges, and Openness to Civil Society.

Within the framework of the Smart City Expo World Congress, Tomorrow.Oceans will be held in Barcelona, a city whose blue economy sectors employ 15,000 people and generates an annual turnover of €3.75 billion – an ideal location to connect with sector experts and soak up the wealth of knowledge on offer.
