About the Ocean Startup Challenge

We’re looking for innovators and entrepreneurs from rural, Indigenous and urban communities across Canada, and internationally, who are working on solutions to ocean industry challenges.

Don’t miss out on the projected $3-trillion ocean economy! If you have ever wanted to solve big problems and make a lasting impact, now is your chance to take the leap into ocean entrepreneurship. There has never been a better time to take advantage of all the opportunities and resources available in the ocean sector.

With the world’s longest coastline, globally renowned research facilities and experts, government programs and supports, initiatives like Canada’s Ocean Supercluster and a steady flow of talent, Canada is the right place to start or grow a successful ocean tech company.

We want to help you and your company (or venture-to-be) become Canada’s next ocean tech success!
