ABOUT
Ocean Innovation Africa 2025
Ocean Innovation Africa will take place from 24th to 28th February 2025 in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
For our upcoming edition, Ocean Innovation Africa (OIA) will take place alongside IUCN's Ocean Science-to-Business Forum and the OCP Ocean Visioning Workshop. These events, all powered by Ocean Innovation Africa, will be held under the Regenerative Ocean Week (ROW) banner in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, from February 24–28, 2025.
Regenerative Ocean Week is a collaborative summit aimed at accelerating and scaling ocean solutions that benefit nature, climate, and communities across Africa, and beyond. Hosted by the Tanzanian Government and powered by Ocean Innovation Africa, ROW will bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and community leaders to develop pioneering pathways for a Regenerative Blue Economy.
The summit is organised by leading change-making organisations IUCN, GIZ, OceanHub Africa, Catalyze, and the Ocean-Climate Platform (OCP), and will focus on ‘Science-to-Solutions’. This theme emphasises transforming scientific research into practical, impactful solutions across all sectors of the blue economy, highlighting the need to connect scientific principles with business practices, technological advancements, investment strategies, and policy frameworks.
Conference sessions will run from Monday to Thursday, with networking events, site visits, and other activities scheduled around the main event. Morning sessions will feature solution showcases, while afternoons will be dedicated to outcomes-based workshops focused on fostering collaboration across key sectors.
At OIA, we believe that science, technology, and entrepreneurship will provide the necessary leverage to harness Blue Economy growth for socio-economic and environmental gains across Africa. Our goal is to inspire ocean-conscious entrepreneurs, attract more private capital into the African Blue Economy, and catalyze collaboration on shared goals.
