OCEAN INNOVATION ENTHUSIASTS
from all over the world
OCEANOVATION MADE WAVES IN THE HAGUE!
And that's a wrap! What an incredible journey we've embarked on together and a great gathering which took place on 21-22 June at the Fokker Terminal in The Hague.
The enthusiasm, passion, and unwavering dedication have made this event an absolute triumph. From the riveting discussions to the laughter-filled networking sessions, 300+ ocean innovators, investors, corporates, incubators, and ocean experts brought an irreplaceable energy that ignited sparks of inspiration and innovation for the future of our Ocean.
We couldn't have asked for a more vibrant and dynamic group of individuals to join us on this adventure - their active participation, engagement, and willingness to think outside the box have left an indelible mark.
Let's carry this momentum forward, continuing to dream big, push boundaries, and make a lasting impact in our respective fields.
Until we meet again!

WHY THEY ATTENDED
OCEANOVATION Festival provided a unique opportunity to learn, connect, be inspired, and do business while positively impacting our ocean.
We welcomed a veritable playground of 40 early-stage companies showcasing their innovative, sustainable solutions for everything relating to ocean conservation taking their chance to connect with industry peers, future partners, and investors to explore the ocean of opportunities for their business!
Founders program

The program offers resources like mentoring, workshops, and networking opportunities to help you meet your goals. We will even connect you with potential partners who can provide capital. If you're part of a start-up team looking to scale your business, join us and get all the resources you need to succeed.
Investor Day
The blue economy holds immense potential for investors. Still, most of it remains untapped, largely because investors lack the necessary ocean-specific knowledge needed to identify and navigate opportunities in the space.
Investor Day is designed for funders to better understand the world of ocean innovation and discover investable solutions, ready to scale. This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, get to know the latest trend and get to learn from successful projects.
Innovation showcase
Discover a display of solutions and technology making (or using!) waves in the ocean space!
We are bringing together ocean experts and eager minds to discover, connect, and share solutions for a cleaner and healthier ocean. The showcase will highlight companies using technology in aquaculture, shipping, renewable energy and other relevant industries.
