From Monaco to Nice, SeaCras had a productive and packed week at the United Nations Ocean Conference 3 (UNOC3), the world’s largest conference contributing to the global issue on the future of our oceans. Here’s all the events we took part in!
Blue Economy & Finance Forum (BEFF)
At the Blue Economy & Finance Forum in Monaco, our CEO Mario Špadina, was invited by the WAVE Foundation, Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco, FII Institute, and Red Sea Global to join a a curated group at the ‘Unlocking Innovation for Regenerative Tourism’ workshop to work on new practices in regenerative coastal tourism, as an upgrade to sustainability practices.
The workshop’s aim was to define new guidelines for regenerative tourism, a concept that goes beyond sustainability, which, while now standard, has often failed to deliver the necessary impact, especially in climate-vulnerable communities and destinations.
Regenerative tourism and the broader blue economy advocate for active restoration of marine and coastal environments, not just to repair damage, but to prevent further degradation.

Nice Business Ocean Forum (NBOF)
We also participated at the Nice Business Ocean Forum, where our CEO joined a panel discussion organised by the UN Global Compact Network France and Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur, bringing a data-driven perspective to ocean innovation business opportunities in the Mediterranean region.

Startup Reef
At the United Nations Ocean Conference 3 Startup Reef, organised by the World Economic Forum and 1000 Ocean Startups, we presented SeaCras’ technology, showing how satellite data and AI can provide real-time insights into marine pollution and help protect fragile ecosystems of touristic destinations.

ENGAGE Area at the Digital Ocean Pavilion
And at the European Digital Ocean Pavilion, organised by Mercator Ocean International, OceanPrediction Decade Collaborative Centre and partners, our work was featured at the ENGAGE area, spotlighting how we turn technology into marine protection.
SeaCras’ technology was featured in a video presentation as part of Europe’s leading innovation efforts for sustainable ocean management. SeaCras’ Chief Communications Officer, Ana Čupić, was there and personally presented our technology to the attendees.
This way, SeaCras took part in discussions with ocean advocates, NGOs, global foundations, and policymakers, and shared how we use AI and satellite data to track marine pollution in real-time.
The result? Drawing interest and sparking conversations about the urgency of protecting our blue planet.

Key Takeaways
This event was definitely a chance to showcase real-world solutions and gather valuable feedback from other conference participants. The United Nations Ocean Conference 3 (UNOC3) isn’t yet another event. It’s a transformative moment on a global stage.
And that’s why we’re incredibly proud to have contributed to such a meaningful conference and inspired by the momentum it has created!
Major events like UNOC3 are not just about visibility. They’re about accountability. They push us all to act smarter, collaborate better, and move faster in managing and protecting the ocean we all rely on.
