You are invited to meet this year’s participants of our unique Ocean Tech Scaling programme, to learn how we can help your organization to scale nationally and globally.

Aker Solutions, PGS, Additech, airMont and HOW Energy have participated in this year's program throughout extensive workshops concentrating on their growth strategies and business plans alongside world class entrepreneurs and mentors.

We are now recruiting for next year’s program, and hope that you will join us for this seminar; meeting the companies, faculty members and mentors in an informal setting.
