Blancpain renewed and extended its support for The Economist Events' World Ocean Summit on the occasion of the third edition which took place in Cascais (Portugal) on June 3-5, 2015. Major sponsor of this outcome-driven high level international conference since the inaugural edition in 2012, Blancpain is proud to see it become a flagship event for The Economist as declared by its CEO Chris Stibbs. In addition to the summit, Blancpain worked with The Economist to present the first Ocean Innovation Challenge which was awarded to Liquid Robotics for the Wave Glider, their revolutionary wave powered ocean robot.

Under the theme "Blue Economy; Blue Growth" the 2015 edition ambitiously aimed to set a new global agenda for the ocean economy offering a vision in which economic opportunity is balanced by responsible investment in a sustainable ocean economy— a ‘win-win’ scenario where the private sector, acting through enlightened self-interest, is a catalyst for both economic development and environmental protection.

Selected by a distinguished panel of judges composed of international luminaries in the ocean, investment and governmental sectors, including Marc A. Hayek, Blancpain's President and CEO, the Liquid Robotics' Wave Glider was chosen for their pioneering technology that "contributes most to the ‘blue economy,’ while presenting an environmentally sustainable and commercially viable solution".
