2-day journey across the Atlantic
The Summit 2022 will be a journey across the Atlantic by connecting other Oceans to uncover innovative and collaborative ways to build a more sustainable future. The venue will be full of features, stages and collective spaces. Entering the event means starting a journey that allows attendees to discover innovative projects happening in several areas. In the venue a two day full-scale conference program will be organized with three stages and some common areas covering the geographies of Portugal and Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia, and the Atlantic.

GIS22’s objectives are:

• to emphasize the importance of the Ocean and its regions, creating new collaboration dynamics with countries in Africa and Latin America and pursuing the sustainable development goals (SDGs);
• to support the innovative developments towards green and digital transition and the associated importance of the role of policy;
• to create the compelling environment for a structured exchange of innovative ideas;
• to increase national and international visibility of the Eureka network; and
• to highlight the significance and impact of internationally oriented bottom-up initiatives.
