Ocean Investing: Unlocking Blue Economy Opportunities with AI

The future of our economy is closely tied to the health of our oceans, coasts and inland waters. They support food systems, global trade, energy infrastructure and millions of livelihoods. Yet they are under increasing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss and competing uses. At the same time, investment in the blue economy is accelerating. The challenge is not ambition, but direction. How do investors, policymakers and businesses identify which projects will deliver real impact, reduce risk and build long-term resilience? These are the questions at the heart of the Blue Economy & Finance Forum (BEFF), where global stakeholders come together to connect capital with solutions that accelerate the transition to a sustainable, regenerative blue economy. I will be representing Fugro as part of this dialogue in Monaco on 28–29 May. By combining high-fidelity Geo-data with AI, community insight and socio-economic analysis, Fugro is bridging science, policy and finance. This enables decision-makers and investors to move from ambition to action, to better understand risks, demonstrate the power of investment and the cost of doing nothing, and prioritise investments that strengthen ocean health and coastal resilience. As a trusted partner, Fugro supports every stage of the process, from baseline mapping and scenario modelling to tailored monitoring solutions, helping turn insight into informed, long-term action. #Fugro #BlueEconomyAndFinanceForum #BEFF #BEFF2026 #ClimateAction

Ana Queirós, the climate change lead at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), introduces ASPACE: the new science-based, climate-smart marine spatial planning platform. #ocean #maritime #oceaneconomy #blueeconomy #climate #development #marinespatialplanning #decisionsupporttool #data #tech #technology https://lnkd.in/eRxPS8nN

For the first time, this year's Our Ocean Conference introduces the Commitment Tracker, a new tool designed to improve and strengthen the commitments process. Aside from the new and updated submitted commitments, you will also be able to track the progress and impact of ocean conservation efforts worldwide, and connect with other stakeholders committed to ocean sustainability. The platform features a real-time implementation dashboard with data visualizations and new tools that simplify user experience and enable more accurate, transparent data reporting.
