BLUE ECONOMY AND FINANCE FORUM 2026 This important international event returns 28–29 May to the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, with the aim of accelerating the momentum towards a sustainable blue economy.

Faced with the urgent need to protect the Ocean and fundamentally transform the economic models that depend on it, Monaco is increasingly a focal point for dialogue between international leaders in science, finance and public policy. Following the success of the 2025 Blue Economy and Finance Forum (BEFF), Monaco will host the next edition of this major event on 28–29 May 2026 at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco. The format has been revised to build on the momentum achieved during the 2025 forum.

Organised by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, BEFF 2026 will bring together up to 300 participants from the public and private sectors, the finance sector, and the world of philanthropy. Over two days, policymakers, business leaders, investors, banks, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and international experts will discuss existing solutions to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and regenerative blue economy.

With its plenary sessions, exhibition space, pitch sessions from innovative companies, and side events, BEFF 2026 will both provide an opportunity to track the progress of the coalitions formed during the 2025 event and promote the emergence of new opportunities for cooperation and funding.
