Blue Growth Investment Forum

We are seeing a growth in value, investment, and diversity of ventures in WA's Blue Economy. This growth is lending itself to new players and mechanisms for funding and investment.

The Blue Growth Investment Forum is for investors, brokers and ventures in this emerging ocean-focused funding and investment marketplace. This is a curated event limited to seventy invited partners, guests, participants and facilitators.

This event will cover the spectrum: equity investment in scale-up companies, impact investing in conservation initiatives and emerging mechanisms like tokenised blue bonds.

Benefit from others experience and insights into the role of different types of funding and investment, in a growing blue economy.

The forum is a unique and opportunity to get:

• updates on latest trends in investing and funding,
• insights into case studies of ventures and investments,
• connected with potential partners for future deals,
• inspired by featured emerging innovations.
