Promoting the latest technological solutions through innovative challenges to safeguard the marine ecosystem, propel advancements in ocean climate solutions, and advocating for circular approaches to combat plastic pollution while enhancing traceability in sustainable fisheries is not only a strategic move; it is an imperative.

Of those, 60 are awarded, with the remaining receiving technical advice to improve their business models and learn about blue, SDGs, and impact investing.

These solutions will address marine plastic pollution, climate issues, sustainable tourism, and sustainable fisheries. At least 220 investors, including 30 percent women-owned businesses, will directly benefit from business matchmaking and learning about blue, SDGs, and impact investing.
