The DB x ORRAA Ocean Conference 2022

Watch the key sessions from our first ever ocean conference held in Mallorca, Spain, in September 2022.

Co-hosted by Deutsche Bank and the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA), the DB x ORRAA Ocean Conference aimed to demystify the sustainable blue economy and show how private capital can help achieve positive ocean impact at scale.

We were delighted to bring some of the world’s leading scientific experts and ocean advocates to the conference – and shed a light on ground-breaking innovations and revolutionary technologies from a group of ocean start-ups from the 1000 Ocean Start-ups coalition. You can revisit some of the highlights of a fascinating few days in the videos below.
