Speaking about the Blue Economy at the Blue Earth Forum

Happy World Ocean Day! I am looking forward to participating in a panel discussion on the Blue Economy at the Blue Earth Forum in London on Wednesday 26th June.

The Blue Earth Forum is organised by the fantastic team behind the Blue Earth Summit and focuses on connecting business solutions with impact investment. The Blue Economy panel will look into the intersection of marine conservation and industrial growth. It will explore collaborative strategies aimed at preserving marine ecosystems while promoting the responsible and sustainable utilisation of ocean resources.

I am looking forward to being joined by moderator Shruti Iyengar (Future Planet Capital) and fellow panellists Hanli Prinsloo (Ocean Conservationist and Entrepreneur) and Francisco Saraiva Gomes (Founding Partner and CIO at Ocean 14).
