Recognizing that systemic problems require systemic solutions, our approach centers on strategic ecosystem building and development, meticulously architecting the infrastructure necessary for lasting regenerative impact.
OIA is our flagship annual event that brings together the most influential stakeholders—investors, policymakers, researchers, and entrepreneurs—to drive deal flow, foster collaboration, and set the agenda for the sustainable African Blue Economy.
As a founding member of this largest global ocean innovation network, we directly contribute to its mission of accelerating innovation for ocean health. We leverage this alliance to significantly elevate the visibility of transformative African blue economy startups and align our local efforts with the global commitment to back 1 000 ocean ventures by 2030.
This is the leading, high-level business and pitching platform, initiated by the European Union, specifically designed to accelerate financing for Africa’s sustainable Blue Economy.
We use this critical forum to connect our most promising ventures, and the broader African ecosystem, with international public and private investors, facilitating deal flow and strategic partnerships to scale transformative blue solutions across the continent.
Our involvement in the GBW supports this Africa-driven roadmap to achieve a nature-positive Western Indian Ocean (WIO) by 2030. The GBW establishes a regional ecological corridor of conserved and restored blue ecosystems, serving as a wall against climate and biodiversity loss. We contribute directly by aligning our ventures with its objective to unlock a regenerative blue economy that benefits 70 million coastal people and creates 2 million blue jobs by 203
Bringing African Innovation to the Global Stage
We don’t just attend events; we ensure the voices, insights, and solutions of our ecosystem are represented on the world’s most influential stages. From international conservation congresses to global investor forums, we strategically bridge the gap between regional excellence and global opportunity—securing the partnerships, mentorship, and funding necessary to scale African-led impact.
