Researchers and students

While we want to see more ocean tech startups, we know you have many options available to you. You could start a company, license out your technology, be part of a team at an ocean tech company, or pursue an academic research career.

We can help you gain insights to choose what suits you best. And whatever you decide, we can connect you to programs and partners to help you develop the skills you may need.

From the Port at Blue Futures Pathways (18-30 year olds) to Lab2Market (graduate students at Canadian universities), and everything in between.
