Mobilizing Capital for Ocean Innovation: FOSD at the ReOcean Fund Dinner in Monaco

Monaco – On June 6, 2025, PVBLIC Foundation, through its Family Offices for Sustainable Development (FOSD) program, supported the ReOcean Fund Dinner at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, an exclusive gathering hosted by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the ReOcean Fund, an impact investment vehicle focused on scalable solutions for ocean sustainability. 

The FOSD delegation included family office leaders and institutional actors from Latin America, the South Pacific, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Their presence reflected growing interest across regions in aligning capital with ocean-centered innovation and sovereign development priorities.

This convening positioned ocean innovation as an investable pathway for long-term economic development, framing ocean health not just as a conservation imperative but as a foundation for resilient prosperity.

Taking place in the lead-up to the 2025 UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3), the dinner brought together ocean champions, convened to showcase how finance, data, and cross-sector collaboration can drive large-scale environmental progress.

Guests included impact investors, scientists, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs, all united by a shared belief: that a sustainable ocean economy requires bold capital, real data, and intentional partnership. The dinner served as a platform to present the ReOcean Fund, an impact private equity strategy launched by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation to support innovative solutions addressing the most pressing challenges facing the global ocean. Participants were introduced to the ReOcean Fund’s mission, investment strategy, and first partnership with NatureMetrics, a company using environmental DNA and AI-powered data science to protect marine ecosystems.

Speaking at the dinner, PVBLIC Foundation Executive Chairman Sergio Fernandez de Cordova emphasized the importance of global alignment:

“The ocean is not a passive victim of environmental harm, it is a solution. If we want resilient economies, we must invest in resilient ecosystems. And that starts by connecting capital with innovation, policy, and science. That’s what we’re doing here in Monaco, and that’s what UNOC3 must accelerate.”

The evening reflected a core tenet of PVBLIC’s mission: bringing decision-makers into proximity with frontier solutions to translate dialogue into action. It also highlighted the power of curated convenings to unlock long-term economic and environmental value for people, planet, and future generations.
