World Ocean Tech and Innovation Summit

October 4, 2022 - October 5, 2022

Powering the next phase in blue growth

There are many reasons to believe the ocean is the next economic frontier. Innovation and investment are two sides of the coin that galvanizes economic activity in the ocean. To help meet the growing global demand for more energy, greater efficiency, resilient supply chains, and other expanded commercial opportunities, the future of the blue economy is crucial. Along with the risks come new opportunities to reimagine what modernization and growth looks like for our ocean.

Economist Impact’s World Ocean Tech and Innovation Summit, hosted by Canada’s Ocean Supercluster in collaboration with the Province of Nova Scotia and the Halifax Partnership, will convene innovators, business leaders, thought leaders and investors to learn about and engage with the latest “blue economy” innovators and technologies, and identify solutions that will form the roadmap to a sustainable, thriving ocean economy.

Taking place in Halifax, Canada, the two-day programme will showcase local innovations that have the potential to be scaled globally and welcome international business leaders, investors and scientists to share learnings and unleash new opportunities for cross-border partnership and investment.

Topics to be covered:

  • Climate change and the ocean
  • Innovation in the blue economy
  • The role of ocean investment in fighting climate change
  • Talent in the blue economy
  • The future fleet—steering innovation in shipping.
