The Ona Futura Foundation, based in Mallorca and focused on environmental, cultural, and educational action, commemorates its fifth anniversary with ambitious plans for the future. The organization plans to invest between 3 and 5 million euros by 2030, aiming to diversify its funding sources, particularly towards private investment. This hybrid model aims to ensure long-term economic sustainability and establish the foundation as a benchmark for marine innovation in southern Europe.
One of the most notable projects of Ona Futura is the expansion of its international presence, focusing on the Mediterranean basin and countries in Latin America. From 2025 to 2030, the foundation plans to implement recurring projects that address the restoration of marine and coastal ecosystems, as well as environmental impact monitoring. Additionally, there will be a priority on developing Nature-Based Solutions and integrating technologies that promote marine regeneration.
Inma Farran, president of the foundation, emphasizes that this expansion beyond Catalonia and the Balearic Islands is a logical yet ambitious step. In its early days, the organization focused its efforts on local coastlines to experiment and refine regeneration models. “The problems facing the sea are shared and know no borders,” Farran states, highlighting the urgency of extending learning to new regions.
The foundation’s strategy is built around three fundamental pillars. The first is marine restoration, which not only seeks to bring life back to ecosystems but also to strengthen them. The second pillar pertains to the use of technology for informed decision-making, utilizing data obtained through artificial intelligence and marine sensing. Finally, education and citizen engagement are key to generating real and effective change in environmental awareness.
Farran underscores that “projects must be scalable, replicable, and profitable.” In this regard, the foundation intends to attract private investments and create quality jobs. Additionally, the launch of an environmental impact fund is planned to co-invest with maritime companies and startups dedicated to marine decarbonization.
During this new phase, complementary areas will be addressed, including the creation of sustainable ports and infrastructure, as well as the promotion of responsible tourism. Collaborations with tech companies will also be sought to enhance marine monitoring, alongside strengthening interactions with universities and research centers.
In its initial five-year journey, the Ona Futura Foundation has mobilized over one million euros in five innovative projects aimed at regenerating the marine ecosystem along Spain’s Mediterranean coastline. “We have transitioned from being an idea born in the midst of the pandemic to an organization capable of implementing pioneering projects,” concludes Inma Farran.
