“The spirit of MBG embodies a shared commitment to the sustainable use of the ocean and the building of a blue, resilient and prosperous future for coastal communities across Europe,” in line with the EU Ocean Pact. “Events such as MBG are key to bringing innovation, data, talent, business and nature together in the same conversation, as the basis for a modern and competitive blue economy.”

“I am grateful to the organisation for having turned MBG, in just two editions, into an essential forum for those of us who believe in the blue economy as a driver of progress, innovation and sustainability.” “Over the last few days, we have talked about sustainability, innovation, biodiversity, financing and talent; that is, in essence, the blue economy: a convergence between industry, science, business and academia.” “Cadiz is a land of sailors, ports and shipyards. It represents better than anyone else the link between maritime tradition and a sustainable future. I call for collaboration and long-term vision to move towards a more competitive and responsible sector.”
