Maritime Innovations Hub in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy

The annual event aims to catalyze real economic activities within strategic value chains of the marine and blue economy with people at the center, and with measurable economic impact as the target.

The National Policy of Marine and Blue Economy, a strategic framework designed to harness Nigeria’s vast marine and coastal resources to foster sustainable economic growth, inclusive prosperity and environmental protection as approved in May 2025 aligns with global trends towards sustainable exploitation of ocean resources and positions Nigeria as a leader in the marine and blue economy sector. The policy was approved by the Federal Executive Council for a ten year period in its first phase (2025-2034) which aims to transform Nigeria into a major hub for maritime trade in Africa, as well as a global reference for sustainable marine and blue economy development practices, to promote economic development, social equity, and environmental stewardship.
