SAVE THE DATE: Join BlueMissionMed at Ecomondo 2025 – Powering the Mediterranean Lighthouse
November 4–7, 2025
Rimini, Italy
From November 4 to 7, BlueMissionMed will mark an important milestone by hosting a series of key events for the Mediterranean Lighthouse of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters” at Ecomondo 2025, the leading international fair for ecological transition and the circular economy. Held in Rimini, Italy, this will be BlueMissionMed’s third consecutive year of participation, confirming once again the strategic relevance of Ecomondo as a global platform for collaboration, innovation, and action.
Throughout the week, a series of high-level and thematic events will spotlight the Mediterranean’s pivotal role within the EU Mission “Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030”. These events will reflect on the achievements of the past years, foster dialogue among Mediterranean actors, and outline concrete pathways for a resilient and mission-driven future.
From the official launch session to knowledge-sharing bootcamps, from policy dialogues to youth and education engagement, the programme will showcase the outcomes, tools, and partnerships that have shaped the BlueMissionMed’s legacy for the Mediterranean Lighthouse.
A dedicated BlueMissionMed booth (Pavilion B6) will host live demonstrations, networking sessions, and showcases of innovative actions and solutions, connecting key actors of the Mediterranean community working to restore and protect our shared waters.
Whether you’re a policymaker, researcher, entrepreneur, educator, or citizen, we warmly invite you to be part of this unique and energising moment on the road to a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient Mediterranean.
Mark your calendars and stay tuned: final agendas are coming soon!
