For this Ocean Startup Activator participants can expect the challenge statements to fall under Sustainable Seafood or Autonomous Vessels & Robotics. Additional details will be presented on the morning of the Activator. You do not need to have a background, knowledge or experience in these areas to participate. We encourage those that have no exposure to these industries to participate to bring an outside perspective with unique ideas to solving these real world problems.

Teams for the Ocean Startup Activator should consist of 2 to 4 members. You’re welcome to come with your own team, or if you’re attending solo, don’t worry! We’ll have a team formation activity where you can easily connect with other participants and form a team on the spot. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow innovators, share ideas, and collaborate on tackling the challenges presented throughout the day. Whether you arrive with a group or join one during the event, everyone will have a chance to contribute and compete for exciting prizes!
