At Blue Ocean International, we understand that the success of the Blue Economy hinges on more than just ambition—it demands access to the right resources, deployed strategically and inclusively. Whether it’s capital to finance a port modernization project, expertise to scale a marine innovation startup, or partnerships to strengthen climate resilience in coastal cities, resource acquisition is the foundation upon which lasting impact is built.
Our service is specifically designed to support African and European stakeholders—including local governments, businesses, civil society, and research institutions—by connecting them with financial, technical, and human resources tailored to the complex realities of coastal and marine development.

We believe that access to capital is just one part of the solution. True success requires the capacity to design, implement, and sustain change. That’s why we also connect our partners with a global network of experts, consultants, technical institutions, and training programs, fostering the local ownership and institutional strength necessary for long-term impact.
