Launch of a strategic platform for sustainable investment in the African fisheries sector
Africa holds vast maritime and fisheries potential, yet it remains largely under-invested despite its central role in food security, employment and climate resilience. African fish stocks have declined by 30% since 2017, making their restoration a strategic imperative.
The Dakhla Blue Economy & Fisheries Summit is a high-level pan-African summit bringing together public decision-makers, financial institutions and investors around a structured, operational response. Positioned in the Post-COP30 dynamic, it directs public policy and investment flows towards high-impact projects.
A credible political and economic hub, Dakhla offers unique institutional and regulatory stability, a strong territorial and continental anchor, and positions itself as a strategic convergence point for investment in Africa's blue economy.
Direct access to African decision-makers. Bankable project pipeline. Structured public-private partnerships. Post-summit follow-up on commitments. A framework designed to transform institutional dialogue into concrete investment opportunities.
A crossroads between the Atlantic and the African continent, Dakhla offers unique institutional stability, a strong territorial anchor and an exceptional geographical position to radiate across all of West Africa.
At the "Africa for the Ocean" Summit, His Majesty King Mohammed VI powerfully reaffirmed that the ocean represents a major strategic lever for the development of the African continent and an essential pillar of its future sovereignty.
« It is not enough to share an ocean. We must think about it together, manage it together and defend it together. »
« The ocean is and will remain a bond and a shared horizon that all of us must protect and develop into a space of peace, stability and development. »
This royal vision is now translated into concrete action through the Dakhla Blue Economy & Fisheries Summit — a strategic platform for sustainable investment in service of Africa's blue economy.
