About 2025 edition
One Ocean Summit Young
One Ocean Foundation will host, on November 19, 2025, the fifth edition of the One Ocean Summit – YOUNG, in collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo.
- Venue: Teatro Franco Parenti – Milan
- Time: 10:00–12:00
- Target audience: high school students (grades 11–13) and young people aged 15 to 18
The 2025 edition – “An Ocean of Possibilities” – will be dedicated to the role of the Blue Economy as a driver of innovation and new professional opportunities. At the heart of the debate: the connections between glacial and marine ecosystems; the theme of food sustainability with new resources such as the blue crab and algae; and videomaking as a tool for scientific monitoring and communication.
The event aims to serve as a bridge between knowledge, innovation, and the future, inspiring younger generations to build a more sustainable world.
