Following the success of our inaugural summit in Bergen (2023), SOS 2025 connects the ocean community and Silicon Valley, building new bridges between science, policy, entrepreneurship, and investment.

Following the success of our inaugural summit in Bergen (2023), SOS 2025 connects the ocean community and Silicon Valley, building new bridges between science, policy, entrepreneurship, and investment. Together, we explore how technology, innovation, and storytelling can drive the systemic change needed to secure a sustainable ocean future.

Hosted at SHACK15, San Francisco, the SOS Summit features keynotes, dialogues, and interactive sessions with voices from around the world — including Andri Snær Magnason, Tom Chi, Christy Walton, Jim Leap, and leaders from Builders Vision, Sustainable Ocean Alliance, and Farvatn.

The program culminates in a Leadership Development Session aboard the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, led by Dorothy Dankel. This hands-on experience bridges personal reflection and collective action before the voyage from San Francisco to San Diego, part of the One Ocean Expedition 2025–2026.

Join us to shape partnerships, spark investment, and inspire action — for the ocean we want, and the leadership we need.
