Startups across Africa’s blue economy sector can now apply to pitch their ideas at BlueInvest Africa 2025, set to take place in Lomé, Togo on October 15–16. Organised by the European Union in partnership with the Government of Togo, the event is a key opportunity for entrepreneurs to connect with international investors and public sector stakeholders.
BlueInvest Africa is a flagship platform focused on accelerating investment in sustainable ocean-based industries, from fisheries and aquaculture to marine technology and coastal tourism. It aims to spotlight ventures that drive economic growth, support local communities, and champion environmental resilience.
Following successful editions in Seychelles and Kenya, the 2025 forum will highlight investment-ready projects that contribute to an inclusive, innovation-driven blue economy across Africa.
“BlueInvest Africa is more than just an event, it is a strategic platform to unlock sustainable investment opportunities in Africa’s blue economy, and a concrete example of EU-Africa cooperation in action,” said Charlina Vitcheva, Director-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries at the European Commission.
This year’s event aligns with the EU’s Global Gateway strategy, which aims to strengthen Africa-Europe investment ties by nurturing sustainable and forward-looking business partnerships.
Startups with innovative solutions in the blue economy are encouraged to apply now and seize the chance to engage with key decision-makers and investors.
Applications are open here.
