The Prince Albert II of Monaco has been supporting tangible projects for ocean preservation through traditonal grants and, more recently, through new financial mecanisms in line with Rigenerative Finance (ReFi) addressed to restore natural ecosystems. Notably, the ReOcean Fund, a private equity tool launched in 2006 within Monaco Asset Management to sustain global initiatives to encourage biodiversity conservation, fight against climate change and safeguarding water sources. A prior asset to scale up companies towards a zero-net and more equitable Blue Economy,
On the 22nd September 2025, this impact investment driver achieved an extraordinary result: the Fund raised up to $73 million. The historic goal was oficially announced at the Nasdaq headquarters in New York in the presence of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, during the New York Climat Week, a key charity annual event to foster climate action through the involvement of business leaders, change makers and leading civil socialty representatives.
This achievement brings the target of €100M closer aimed at bulding up a more sustainable future for the next generation. The Blue Economy is thus becoming a big role in the financial and investment sector, to develop an ecoconscious management.
Olivier Wenden, Vice-Chairman and CEO of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, pointed out: “The ocean, at the core of climate stability and economic resilience, represents a high- potential frontier for sustainable investment. A growing pipeline of innovative companies is delivering scalable, ocean-based solutions with measurable impact. These ventures are no only addressing global challenges but also unlocking new markets and long-term value. Now is the time to catalyse capital into this space and accelerate the transition toward inclusive, future-proof economies. This is the ambition of the ReOcean Fund and I sincerely thank the investors who share our commitment to turn vision into action".
The Minderoo Foundation, focused on nature protection and gender equality, joins the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation to share the same goals as for ReOcean Fund with a €5 million investment.
Andrew Forrest AO, Founder of Minderoo Foundation, highlighted: “Our oceans are facing unprecedented threats. We need bold, science-led innovation to
reverse the damage. By investing in the ReOcean Fund, Minderoo Foundation is backing
entrepreneurs and technologies that can deliver measurable impact at scale. These are
solutions that not only protect marine ecosystems but also support livelihoods and climate resilience. Healthy oceans are central to a fair future. By backing the ReOcean Fund, we are showing how private capital can deliver impact to scale solutions that protect our environment and people. This is about turning innovation into impact where it matters most.”
The Fund's attractiveness is getting more and more interest, gathering twenty-two investors and one company, NatureMetrics, which has recently entered the portfolio. Not by chance, it is designed to reach Advisory & Business innovative companies, tackling various topics closely related to SDG (UN Sustainable Development Goal) 14: Solutions to Plastic Pollution; Healthy, Regenerative and Equitable Blue Food; Green Shipping and Yachting; Restoration and Protection; Ocean Data. ★★★
