Blue Africa Summit

The Blue Africa Summit in Tangier: Charting a Sustainable Maritime Future for Africa

Held at the stunning Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa, the Blue Africa Summit emerges as a pivotal platform addressing some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities related to maritime Africa. This summit is not merely a forum for dialogue—it's a space where policy, practice, and vision converge to redefine the continent’s relationship with its coasts and oceans.

Following the foundation laid by the last summit and its historic Tangier Declaration, this year’s event aims to strengthen Africa’s position as a maritime powerhouse. In a world where global trade routes and marine ecosystems are rapidly shifting, Africa's maritime domain represents both a lifeline and a launchpad for the continent's sustainable growth.

Revisiting the Tangier Declaration: Africa’s Maritime Awakening

The previous edition of the summit introduced the Tangier Declaration, a strategic document that underscores the centrality of Africa’s seas in driving economic development. From fisheries and maritime transport to blue energy and biodiversity, the declaration emphasized a unified African approach to managing marine resources sustainably.

This year’s summit will not only revisit the core messages of that declaration but will also track the progress made by various stakeholders—including governments, NGOs, private sectors, and regional coalitions—in implementing its goals.

Key priorities reaffirmed in the Tangier Declaration:

Establishing secure and efficient maritime corridors for trade

Enhancing governance and regulation of marine resources

Promoting education and capacity building in ocean-related industries

Strengthening regional and international cooperation across blue economy sectors

With these pillars in mind, the Blue Africa Summit 2025 is positioned as a continuation of a broader movement to elevate Africa’s maritime identity on the global stage.

Building Global Bridges: Maritime Connectivity as a Catalyst for Growth

One of the defining themes of the Blue Africa Summit in Tangier is connectivity. In the age of globalization, Africa’s geographical location places it at a strategic crossroads between continents. Yet, intra-African maritime routes remain underutilized, and global trade channels often bypass African ports in favor of more established logistics networks.

This summit seeks to change that narrative.

Participants will explore strategies to:

Modernize port infrastructure across Africa's coastal nations

Streamline maritime customs and digital tracking systems

Attract foreign investment into shipping and shipbuilding industries

Foster collaboration between African and global port authorities

By enhancing maritime connectivity, African nations can not only boost trade with Europe, Asia, and the Americas but also improve integration within the African continent itself—a key goal of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Strengthening the Blue Economy: Innovation, Inclusion, and Investment

Africa’s blue economy remains an underleveraged asset. Spanning a wide range of industries—from offshore renewable energy and marine biotechnology to tourism and fisheries—the ocean economy holds immense potential for job creation, innovation, and inclusive growth.

The Blue Africa Summit aims to bring these opportunities into focus through sessions that highlight:

Technological innovations in sustainable fishing and aquaculture

Financing mechanisms for blue startups and community-based enterprises

Case studies on eco-tourism models in coastal African countries

Capacity-building programs for youth and women in marine industries

Such initiatives are essential for ensuring that the benefits of the blue economy are broadly shared—not just among governments and corporations, but within local communities that depend directly on marine resources for their livelihoods.

Safeguarding Marine Ecosystems: A Core Pillar of Maritime Development

Environmental sustainability remains at the heart of the discussions during the Blue Africa Summit. With growing threats from overfishing, pollution, habitat loss, and climate change, African waters—especially in regions such as the Gulf of Guinea, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean—are increasingly vulnerable.

Key environmental issues on the summit agenda include:

Strengthening marine protected areas and coastal resilience programs

Combatting illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing

Promoting ocean literacy and citizen science initiatives

Integrating climate adaptation into marine planning and development

These environmental priorities reflect a growing understanding that economic growth must be aligned with long-term ecological stewardship. Without healthy oceans, the vision of a thriving blue economy cannot be realized.

Tangier as the Strategic Host: Where Continents and Ideas Meet

Tangier’s historical role as a crossroads of civilizations is now being reinvented in the context of maritime diplomacy and trade. Hosting the Blue Africa Summit at the Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa is a deliberate choice—a setting that symbolizes both Morocco’s maritime heritage and its leadership in advancing regional collaboration.

Morocco has increasingly positioned itself as a gateway between Europe and Africa, and Tangier’s deep-water port is one of the busiest on the continent. The city's experience in port development, green shipping initiatives, and ocean governance provides a fitting backdrop for the summit’s ambitious agenda.

Who Should Attend the Blue Africa Summit?

This event is more than a gathering of policymakers—it's a convergence of ideas from across the blue economy spectrum. The Blue Africa Summit in Tangier is designed for:

Government ministers and maritime authorities

Leaders of African and international shipping companies

Environmental NGOs and marine conservationists

Academic researchers and ocean policy experts

Entrepreneurs in coastal tourism, fisheries, and blue tech

Youth organizations and civil society actors

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in cross-sector dialogue, form new partnerships, and influence the direction of Africa’s maritime future.

A Platform for Action, Not Just Dialogue

Too often, high-level summits are criticized for being talk-heavy and action-light. The organizers of the Blue Africa Summit are aware of this risk and have committed to tangible outcomes. The final day of the summit will feature the unveiling of updated commitments to the Tangier Declaration, along with a roadmap for implementation and follow-up.

Attendees can also expect to:

Participate in workshops on maritime policy reform

Attend exhibitions of marine technologies and digital platforms

Join site visits to Tangier’s port infrastructure and marine research centers

Africa’s Maritime Future Begins Now

Africa’s oceans are rich with potential, but that potential will only be realized through coordinated, visionary, and inclusive efforts. The Blue Africa Summit in Tangier represents one of the continent’s most comprehensive initiatives to rethink the role of the sea in its economic and ecological narrative.

Whether through enhanced trade, smarter governance, environmental protection, or innovation in blue industries, this summit is about more than setting agendas—it’s about building a maritime Africa that is ready for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
