We are specifically seeking companies with innovative products and services tailored for the Canadian marine sector.

Whether your focus is OceanTech, encompassing surface and sub-surface technologies with applications in food, energy, monitoring, and more, or marine conservation solutions tackling issues like oil spills and plastic pollution, we encourage you to apply.
