Business Forum – Where Innovation Meets Opportunity

The Business Forum at WCFS 2025 is a dedicated platform for connecting high-potential projects with international visibility. It brings together companies, innovators, and strategic partners to share solutions, form new alliances, and present their work to a global audience.

This is where the future of floating solutions takes shape – through collaboration, dialogue, and visibility.

WCFS-Espoo

Attend Business Forum Only – One-Day Ticket Available

If you can’t join WCFS 2025 for the full three days, a One-Day Ticket is available for Tue 2 September. This ticket gives you full access to all Business Forum sessions, networking opportunities, and on-site catering for the day.

It can also be purchased as a bundle with the Closing Banquet Dinner in the evening.

What to Expect

The Business Forum takes place on Day 2 of the WCFS 2025 program and is divided into three themed content blocks, each following a shared storyline.

Every block begins with an expert panel discussion addressing key questions, challenges and barriers related to floating solutions. This is followed by presentations from partner organisations, who offer practical innovations and proposals in response to the issues raised.

Day 2 Program

Panels will include voices from funding, policy and development. Each presentation will be followed by an interactive Q&A, creating opportunities for live dialogue between presenters and participants.
