Durban, South Africa

Description:

The 6th edition of Ocean Innovation Africa (OIA2025) marked a major evolution for the summit. Staying true to its pan-African vision, OIA set out to host this edition outside of Cape Town for the first time. After the success of OIA2024 - and the release of the Cape Town Manifesto championing inclusive design principles for a regenerative blue economy - several partners approached OIA with the idea of building on that momentum and gravitas by aligning additional events, workshops, and meetups around the summit. The goal was to create a collaborative platform where each contribution would feed into a greater collective impact
