UN Ocean Conference 2025
Nice 🇫🇷
Greetings from the Katapult Ocean ship. Very good morning session on Blue Economy funding, followed by Blue startup pitches.
Global Family Office funds amount to 86 billion dollars. Out of total global investments the Blue Economy amounts only to 0.01% according to Katapult. Awareness is however growing, check out the data here 👉
At Aboa Advest we have a clear focus on the Blue Economy, representing 30% of our investments including our commitments in Redstone Blue Fund I (pre-seed, seed fund in the Baltic Sea region) and BluKap (global series A fund).
The Blue Economy is a strong and growing set of dynamic and competitive industries, contributing around EUR 250 billion to the EU economy and employing nearly 5 million people. It offers a wealth of opportunities for innovation, economic diversification, job creation, competitiveness, climate neutrality and sustainability.”
Read more in the EU Blue Economy report 2025.
APelago was represented by Alina Sippolainen and Aboa Advest by Timo Ketonen.
In the evening we participated in the 1000 Ocean Startups Town Hall meeting. Glad and proud to be a member in this collaboration across the universe 🌏
