Ocean Data for Ocean Health
- Sustainability and innovation in the blue economy
|
|
Let's take a deep dive for ocean data to accelerate sustainability and innovation in the blue economy. The global ocean economy is predicted by OECD to reach USD 3 trillion by 2030. Ocean health is critical for the global economy, food security and to reach the UN 2030 goals - yet we know so little. 80% of our ocean is unmapped, unobserved and unexplored, and 90% of ocean species yet to be classified. How can ocean data help us predict, engage, and move us towards a more sustainable society?
For this conference we have handpicked expert in the field of ocean data and technology and will give you an up-date of the skills and data available in Sweden today. We will also bring forward experts from other sectors that are leading the digital transformation.
