Sustainable Ocean Solutions Summit & Voyage
Join the Sustainable Ocean Solutions Summit in San Francisco, followed by a hands-on voyage aboard the historic Statsraad Lehmkuhl to San Diego. Together, these events bring global changemakers to connect, collaborate, and co-create solutions for a thriving ocean future.
Join us aboard the legendary tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl, where the Sustainable Ocean Solutions community set sail together for the future.
SOS Summit, San Francisco
The summit gathers global leaders from science, policy, finance, and innovation to shape the future of the ocean. It offers interactive panels, expert presentations, and workshops designed to spark bold ideas and real collaboration.
The goal of the summit is to build strategic partnerships and launch pioneering initiatives that unlock the ocean’s capacity to provide real solutions to the climate crisis. Alongside, mobilizing venture capital for science-based innovation and ocean sustainability.
The program will explore untapped opportunities and practical pathways toward resilient and sustainable blue economies.
SOS Voyage, San Francisco to San Diego
The expedition is a continuation of the summit, offering real-time ocean science and turning ideas into action aboard the iconic Statsraad Lehmkuhl. As part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science, the voyage offers a shared space to explore ocean challenges, build connections, and spark leadership for a sustainable future:
- Become a part of the Crew
Live and work as a sailor on board. No experience is needed. As a sailor trainee, you will take part in daily life at sea: handling sails, standing watch, living in a hammock, learning teamwork, discipline, and traditional seamanship. - Share cross-disciplinary conversations
Sail alongside scientists, students, investors, activists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. Through shared experience and open dialogue, you will co-create ideas and partnerships in a truly unique setting. - Get the tools for change in the floating classroom
Join workshops, lectures, and discussions on climate, biodiversity, ocean innovation, technology, and leadership. The ship becomes a sailing classroom, linking knowledge with action, offering a new perspective on the ocean and the tools to drive meaningful change.
