Description
Trillions of dollars flow through ocean-linked industries, yet the capital meant to protect and regenerate those systems remains scattered, siloed, and too slow. This 75-minute working session asks: what would it take to change that? Through a live mapping exercise and real-world examples, participants will explore how shifting what counts as value, who becomes investable, and how different forms of capital align can unlock more powerful ocean outcomes. Whether you deploy capital, advise it, or build the enterprises that need it, this session offers practical tools and unexpected partnerships to take home.
