The 3-Space 2025 event, hosted in London by Rothschild & Co in collaboration with UpLink – World Economic Forum, brought together leading innovators, investors, and impact-driven businesses from around the world.
Now in its third edition, the event is becoming one of Europe’s most relevant gathering points for organisations focused on nature-positive solutions and new funding models for sustainability.
With a strong emphasis on practical innovation, cross-sector partnerships, and the future of impact financing, London 3-Space 2025 highlighted how data, technology, and capital can work together to support healthier ecosystems and stronger communities.
How SeaCras Created Positive Impact at the National and Regional Levels in 2025
Our CEO, Mario Špadina, was invited to present how SeaCras is transforming marine area management by replacing subjective, often biased decision-making with satellite-driven and data-driven intelligence.
His presentation showed that impact-oriented companies can successfully protect the environment while still generating sustainable revenue and long-term economic value for different players in the value chain:
- Regional management of marine protected areas: SeaCras’ Coastal Intelligence system implementation revealed how leisure nautic tourism by yachts and charter boats affects marine protected areas with seagrass Posidonia oceanica meadows. These meadows are under great threat caused by uncontrolled anchoring. Coastal Intelligence detected hundreds of thousands of illegal anchoring cases in protected marine areas in Croatia’s Adriatic sea coastline. Based on the results, clear data-driven measures were proposed for new infrastructure upgrades of coastal zones as well as establishing new concessions, monitoring and surveillance, thus boosting economy, while bringing order to sustainably and regeneratively manage marine protected areas.
- Deployment of SeaCras App in the cruise port in Zadar and in the breathtaking Zavratnica beach, and providing it transparently to these destinations’ guests, as well as to the local citizens, increased customer satisfaction and helped to derisk pollution detection for the port operator and the port authority, and brought nothing but positive opinions among the local community.
- Upgrade of the national-level monitoring of public health at beaches in Croatia as a part of the national Coastal Anthropogenic Pollution Risk Identification project that SeaCras is in charge of. The project not only has a horizontal benefit to different industries, especially coastal tourism, but preventively aims to lower the illnesses in swimmers, especially children.
These real-world cases and current projects demonstrate SeaCras’ impact across environmental management, economic growth, and public health. The results of these projects are reproducible to help communities around the world.
And this is a shift in paradigm that needs to be understood. Impact investments generate income for the entire communities, rather than benefiting individual businesses only.
Key-Takeaway Home Messages From London 3-Space 2025
In addition to showcasing impressive solutions from fellow UpLink Innovators, the central discussion at London 3-Space 2025 focused on finding new and more effective ways of funding impact initiatives. This year’s conversations underscored several key messages:
- Capital is available, and dedicated people across sectors are working to redirect that capital toward solutions that benefit both people and nature.
- A crucial goal is to accelerate the movement of capital away from areas where it creates little or delayed value, especially where resources stagnate without real impact.
Europe has the capacity, resilience, and openness to take a leading role in shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future. - As for SeaCras, we continue our work. How exactly? By exploring new markets, building innovative tools, and navigating toward what we believe are exciting and meaningful opportunities.
Looking forward to the next edition of 3-Space 2026!
