WIN-BIG Launches Call for Female Ocean Champions

The WIN-BIG project is excited to kick off the New Year with a powerful new campaign aimed at amplifying the voices of women in the Blue Economy. We are launching the Women Champion Story Collection to share the inspirational journeys of women making waves across marine sectors.

Why your story matters

The Blue Economy remains largely male-dominated, and one of the best ways to inspire change is to highlight the incredible contributions of women who are already driving innovation and sustainability. Whether you are:

  • A sailor navigating the seas,

  • A marine renewable energy professional harnessing clean power,

  • A scientist or researcher unlocking the secrets of our oceans,

  • An ocean advocate championing conservation,

  • Or involved in shipping, biotechnology, or any other blue-related sector,

We want to hear your story!

What we are doing

WIN-BIG will select our 100 favourite stories and publish them in a special Women Champion Book. This collection will serve as a source of inspiration and empowerment for future generations of women considering careers in the Blue Economy.

How to Participate

Submitting your story is simple: tell us about your journey, challenges, and how you overcame them to find success and fulfilment in your blue career.

Ready to share your story? Submit it here!

Why participate

By sharing your story, you’ll become part of a collective movement to break barriers and inspire others. Let’s show the world that the Blue Economy thrives on diversity, innovation, and the power of women leading the way.

Join us in creating a future where inclusivity and sustainability go hand in hand. Together, we can inspire more women to discover their place in the Blue Economy!
