WHY ATTEND
OCEANOVATION Festival provides a unique opportunity to learn, connect, be inspired, and do business while positively impacting our ocean.
Discover a veritable playground of early-stage companies showcasing their innovative, sustainable solutions for everything relating to ocean conservation.
It’s your chance to connect with industry peers, future partners, and (possible) investors and explore the ocean of opportunities out there waiting for you.
Founders program
Trying to marry sustainability and profit can be hard, but with the right tools, you can make it happen! The Founders Program can help you develop a winning product and understand how to market it.
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.

Effective B2B matchmaking
There are plenty of fish in the sea. But you need to know how to find them.
At OCEANOVATION, we place a lot of value on ensuring that you have the opportunity to meet who you need, in an environment that is conducive to fruitful conversations. It's not just about finding a specific solution or amount for your business; it's about finding partners that share your vision.
