“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are built for.” – William Shedd ⛵🌊 Taking Mare ad Astra to Japan was a leap into the unknown—our first time presenting solo at the World Ocean Summit in Tokyo, thousands of kilometers from home. But the distance didn’t matter. The energy of the Economist Impact team, the enthusiasm of those who stopped by, and the deep conversations about ocean sustainability made this experience unforgettable. We left Japan with more than connections—we left with renewed conviction. 🌍💙 Thank you to everyone who joined us, whether in person or from afar. Your support fuels our mission to push sustainability beyond borders. Because real change happens when we dare to sail beyond the horizon. 🌏✨
