13th Annual World Ocean Summit and Expo 2026
Economist Impact, with the support of official host The Nippon Foundation, successfully hosted the 12th World Ocean Summit in Tokyo in 2025. With over 14,000 islands, 30,000km of coastline and a blue economy that is forecasted to reach 28 trillion yen by 2030, Japan as a maritime nation offered a rich cultural and historical perspective.
The summit convened the widest cross-section of the ocean community from business and finance to government, national and international policy-makers, civil society and academia. Designed to instigate action to develop the sustainable ocean economy, the summit encouraged new partnerships across industries, with NGOs, scientists, technology developers and investors. By bringing together all stakeholders in the ocean ecosystem, the summit provided the perfect platform to inspire new synergies, solutions and strategies on the track to meet the 2030 targets in UN SDG 14.
The 12th annual summit focused on the transition to a sustainable ocean economy, ocean stewardship, strategies to restore ocean health, advancements in marine technology and collaborative efforts to address ocean pollution. The agenda included a series of “How to” workshops designed to generate tangible action points and key takeaways to enable organisations to instigate change and make an impact on the journey towards a healthier ocean.
The summit in Tokyo continued action-based conversations on the key themes from recent World Ocean Summits, and provided a vital opportunity for participants from Asia to engage with the global ocean community ahead of the United Nations Oceans Conference in June 2025.
See you on March 4th-5th in Montreal, Canada for the 13th annual World Ocean Summit!
