About this event
Women Power Our Planet has partnered with Investable Oceans to explore key trends and opportunities across the Blue Economy, and to highlight women thought leaders and entrepreneurs driving the sector's transformation.
PANEL 1: Charting & Navigating the Blue Economy
Moderated by Dr. Julie Pullen, Co-founder, Women Power Our Planet, Oceanographer & Meteorologist
Dr. Kristin Hull, CEO & CIO, Nia Global Solutions & Advisor, Women Power Our Planet
Vanessa Fajans-Turner, Principal, Investable Oceans & Executive Director, BankFWD
Our oceans face serious challenges but also anchor a multi-trillion dollar economy that provides the air we breathe, the food we eat, and shapes the way we travel and the energy we use. This panel will explore key investment pillars, trends, and areas of growth across the Blue Economy, as well as the tools we have or must build to assess the viability and impact of their opportunities.

PANEL 2: A Conversation with Ocean Pioneers & Bio-engineers
Moderated by Dawn Gallagher, Co-founder, Women Power Our Planet and Model Activist
Dr. Gozde Senel-Ayaz, CEO, Tandem Repeat
Courtney Boyd Myers, Co-founder, CEO and CMO, Akua
This panel will change the way you look at kelp, squid, what you eat, and what you wear. Explore ways that the blue economy is sustainably generating value from - and literally reengineering - things we'd normally only see in aquariums to improve our daily lives and protect our future. This panel will highlight two buzzworthy start-ups led by visionary women founders and CEOs in bioengineering and aquaculture.
