Canada stands at the forefront of ocean sciences, driving innovations that not only push the boundaries of marine research and technology, but also significantly contribute to a sustainable blue economy.
With its vast coastline and commitment to environmental stewardship, Canada harnesses the full potential of its ocean resources through strategic initiatives and collaborations that aim to expand economic growth while preserving marine ecosystems.
Driving this innovation in ocean sciences is Canada’s Ocean Supercluster (OSC), one of five national Global Innovation Clusters developing industry ecosystems and promoting investment. As such, the OSC is a cross-sectoral collaboration that accelerates the development of sustainable, innovative ocean solutions addressing critical global challenges, such as energy transition, food security and climate change. This initiative is a testament to Canada’s approach, emphasizing a 5X growth ambition by 2035 and showcasing the nation’s proactive stance on enhancing its marine sectors. The OSC has built a robust network that fosters cross-pollination of ideas and investments, enhancing Canada’s global competitiveness in ocean technologies.
