Making Canada the best place for ocean innovation | Faire du Canada le meilleur endroit au monde pour l'innovation océan

About us

~ Making Canada the best place to start and grow an ocean company ~ In 2020, Canada’s Ocean Supercluster announced its first Innovation Ecosystem Project was the Ocean Startup Project, a collaboration to create and grow high-quality ocean technology companies. Collaborators include: Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) - Atlantic, Genesis, Invest NS (formerly Innovacorp), New Brunswick Innovation Foundation, PEI BioAlliance, Springboard Atlantic, COAST (Centre for Ocean Applied Sustainable Technologies), and Technopole Maritime du Québec. Initially, the Ocean Startup Project will focus on interacting with entrepreneurs from industry and innovators from academia to identify ideas and companies with potential to solve challenges facing the ocean sector. Following that funnel development, the Ocean Startup Project’s focus will shift to acceleration and incubation programs to prepare the companies for success.

    Last week, the Ocean Startup Project | Projet Startup Des Océans held our first-ever Ocean Startup Activator, which was hosted in collaboration with UPEI's Catherine Callbeck Centre for Entrepreneurship and Prince Edward Island BioAlliance. The event brought together students and community members to explore problems in ocean industries, develop ideas for solutions and present those ideas for a chance to win prizes — all in the span of a single day. I feel a renewed sense of excitement and inspiration after watching teams and individuals, many of whom had no awareness of opportunities in oceans prior to the event, come up with innovative ideas in such a short timeframe. The event couldn't have been a success without our partners and the mentors who joined to support participants throughout the day. And a special shout out to my colleague, Sahil Ahuja, who took a rough event concept idea I dreamed up two years ago and brought the vision to life in what was an incredibly well-executed event. I'm looking forward to the innovators we will meet and ideas that will emerge at the next Ocean Startup Activator (more to come on that in the coming months). If you're interested in increasing awareness of ocean entrepreneurship opportunities in your community, please don't hesitate to reach out to the OSP team to see how we can work together.
