Krucial Co-founder and CEO Allan Cannon will speak at this year’s Economist Impact World Ocean Summit & Expo in Lisbon, Portugal, to an audience of leaders from the ocean community, from business to government and finance.
Taking place from February 27 to March 1, the annual event brings together more than 1,500 attendees from over 100 countries to discuss ‘inspiring ocean solutions’ and the biggest challenges facing our oceans – climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution – as well as on marine industries.
Allan will present at the Innovation Showcase session on Tuesday 28 February at 11:50am (WET) on the topic of ‘The impact of the ocean on aquaculture sustainability’. His talk will focus on how we can use space technology to better understand our oceans and take action to keep them healthy, enabling sustainable aquaculture across the world.
Other speakers include Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy secretary-general of the UN and Chair of the UN Sustainable Development Group, Angelina Paolini Ellard, Deputy director-general of the World Trade Organisation, and Larsen Mettler, Managing Director of S2G Ventures.
