Following a successful launch in December 2023 alongside COP28, the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit returns to Dubai on December 8-9, 2025, as a strategic platform to build a resilient agri-food system in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.

The World Agri-Tech series takes place around the globe in London, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore and Mexico City. The summits draw together growers, agribusinesses, technology providers, start-ups and investors to identify solutions with the potential to build a more sustainable, resilient food production system – and to forge the right partnerships to bring these solutions to market.

Key summit sessions will focus on desert farming, including innovative approaches to regenerative agriculture in arid climates, high-tech vertical farming and land-based aquaculture.

As 300+ of the most influential leaders in agriculture across the MEASA region convene for the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in Dubai, energetic conversations and dynamic panel discussions will showcase investment opportunities, promote partnership and collaboration, and position sustainable farming at the forefront of the policy agenda

Welcome to the 12th annual World Ocean Summit & Expo

Economist Impact, with the support of official host The Nippon Foundation, is hosting the 12th World Ocean Summit in Tokyo in 2025.  With over 14,000 islands, 34,000km of coastline and a blue economy that is forecasted to reach 28 trillion yen by 2030, Japan as a maritime nation offers a rich cultural and historical perspective.

The summit convenes the widest cross-section of the ocean community from business and finance to government, national and international policy-makers, civil society and academia. It is designed to instigate action to develop the sustainable ocean economy; to encourage new partnerships across industries, with NGOs, scientists, technology developers and investors. By bringing together all stakeholders in the ocean ecosystem, the summit provides the perfect platform to inspire new synergies, solutions and strategies on the track to meet the 2030 targets in UN SDG 14.

The 12th annual summit will focus on the transition to a sustainable ocean economy,  ocean stewardship, strategies to restore ocean health, advancements in marine technology and collaborative efforts to address ocean pollution. The agenda will include a series of “How to” workshops designed to generate tangible action points and key takeaways to enable organisations to instigate change and make an impact on the journey towards a healthier ocean.

The summit in Tokyo will continue action-based conversations on the key themes from recent World Ocean Summits, as well as provide a vital opportunity for participants from Asia to engage with the global ocean community ahead of the United Nations Oceans Conference in June 2025.

Simultaneous translation will be available during the event from English to Japanese.
