AIS STARTUP BLUE BUSINESS SUMMIT 2023:
Our Ocean, Our Future: An Ocean of Solutions for the Islands States
6-11 October 2023
Bali, Indonesia
The blue economy provides an array of opportunities, like economic diversification, while effective marine debris management and good maritime governance ensure the long-term sustainability of ocean resources.
With regards to this, investment in the blue sector is crucial to unlocking the potential of the ocean, creating a sustainable future for island states, and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
In seeing this matter, the AIS Forum believes that it is important to scale up our attention on collaborative efforts between island states, international organisations, and scientific communities to foster innovation and knowledge exchange.
Therefore, we invite you to join us in the 2023 AIS Startup Business Summit: Our Ocean, Our Future: An Ocean of Solutions for the Islands States held in Bali, Indonesia, as a part of our 1st High Level Meeting!

The main theme of the 2023 Startups Business Summit, “Oceans of Solutions,” suggests a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions related to the oceans and marine environment. This theme reflects the recognition that the oceans are vital for our planet’s health and well-being and that entrepreneurial innovation can play a significant role in addressing the challenges they face.
The summit conducted as a series of event with Acceleration Lab, Site Visit, and Plenary Session included on 6-11 October 2023.
