Islands of the World. Same Horizon.
Lanzarote will be the global beacon of the Blue Islands on March 12 and 13, 2026, with the celebration of the second edition of the iBlue Congress by Lanzarote Islands Innovation Summit, in a unique setting such as the Jameos del Agua.
An international summit where governance, science, business, culture, and citizens come together to chart the future of the islands, based on knowledge, technology, and global cooperation. From the Islands for the Planet.
Presented at FITUR 2026, iBlue Congress by Lanzarote will bring together island territories from practically every sea and ocean in the world to become a true blue laboratory, where the future of tourism and island development can be rethought from the perspective of sustainability, technology, regeneration, and cultural identity.
El Congreso contará con la participación de referentes internacionales como Galápagos (Ecuador), Cozumel (México), como país invitado, Madeira (Macaronesia), entre otras Islas; conectando experiencias del Pacífico, el Caribe, el Atlántico y el Mediterráneo en torno a un mismo horizonte común.
This second edition will be sponsored by Odile Rodríguez de la Fuente, who highlights Lanzarote as a global benchmark for its commitment to endogenous beauty, respect for limited resources, and the legacy of César Manrique.
Data-driven intelligence, talent hubs, enabling technologies (AI, IoT, digital twins), circular economy, and financing models adapted to the island context will be the focus of this major platform for exchange, inspiration, and action.
A unique space to think blue, imagine new real solutions, and design, together, a smarter, more inspiring, and inclusive future for the world's islands.
