SUMMARY:Blue Finance 2026
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nBlue Finance 2026 is the second edition of Ocean and Coastal Futures’ finance conference, following an inaugural 2025 event that drew over 200 people from finance, government, industry and ocean sustainability. Where 2025 made the macro case that the ocean attracts a fraction of the investment its recovery requires, 2026 addresses why that capital is not moving, tracing the route money has to travel from institutional capital markets to the coast itself and to the businesses and communities whose decisions determine what happens in the water.\nThe programme runs across four tracks: scaling the market, covering marine net gain, blue carbon and whether a marine credit withstands investor diligence; blended finance and catalytic capital, covering first-loss structures, guarantees and why so many structures never reach close; the last mile, on getting finance to communities, SMEs and the coast; and pressure reduction and supply chains, financing the prevention of damage through procurement rather than investment. The day runs across three rooms for around 200 people, with keynotes and plenary panels in the lecture theatre alongside parallel tracks, practitioner-led workshops and roundtables.\nWhat to expect\n\nKeynotes and plenary panels in the lecture theatre\nFour parallel tracks covering market scaling, blended finance, last-mile delivery, and pressure reduction and supply chains\nPractitioner-led workshops and roundtables\nAn investor and developer lounge open through the afternoon\nMeet the Projects, with coastal and marine ventures pitching directly to funders before lunch\nEvening reception\n\nDate and time\n11 November 2026\nLocation and format\nOne Birdcage Walk, Westminster, London, UK.\nRegistration\nMore information: https://coastal-futures.net/blue-finance-26 ( https://coastal-futures.net/blue-finance-26 )\n
