Lisbon will host the first edition of the Ocean Summit 2024, an international event that will bring together renowned experts from four continents.

This meeting, to be held on October 29 and 30, 2024, at the Planetarium and Maritime Museum, promises to drive new discoveries about the oceans and create unprecedented opportunities for knowledge sharing and innovation.

Just as space exploration represented a transformative journey for humanity, the Ocean Summit will mark the beginning of a new era of ocean exploration, a territory that remains largely unknown. More than 80% of the oceans have not yet been mapped or explored, and this event positions itself as the starting point for revealing these submerged secrets, creating a powerful link between marine and space exploration.

Lisbon, with its historical connection to the sea, will thus be the starting point of this new era.

By hosting the Ocean Summit 2024, the Portuguese capital positions itself at the heart of international innovation and collaboration, in a joint effort to protect and explore the oceans sustainably. This event marks the beginning of a journey that will allow humanity to uncover unprecedented details about the vastness and biodiversity of the marine environment, while fostering cooperation between scientists, institutional entities, and representatives of the private sector.
