The World Ocean Council is partnering with the City and the Port of Barcelona to develop a global Blue Economy hub, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain.

In celebration of this new partnership, World Ocean Council will host two high-impact ocean events in Barcelona: the Sustainable Ocean Summit – SOS 2022, taking place 17-18 October; followed by the launch of the Global Blue Finance Summit – BlueFIN 22 on 19 October.

SOS 2019 gave rise to the 1st Global Blue Finance Summit (BlueFIN), an international conference dedicated to ocean finance and sustainability. SOS and BlueFIN will continue to be held in key locations around the world, but will return to the new “home port” of Barcelona every 2-3 years.
