Jump into Ocean Networking: Ocean Talent and Start-up Meet ‘n Greet

This event is presented by Innovacorp and the Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurships (COVE).With so many creative and exciting ideas coming out of the technology start-up space, networking opportunities are the best way for you to get in on the ground floor. Join us on Tuesday, January 11, as we play matchmaker for local ocean start-ups looking to hire great talent who are keen on working in the entrepreneurial space. If you are in the market for a new job or interested in learning more, take advantage of this amazing opportunity to connect with some like-minded people. Start-UpsThis is your chance to meet skilled, eager-to-work talent, including students, grads, and jobseekers of all types keen to work for a start-up like yours. Come share what your company is doing, and its talent needs, as you collect resumés from capable candidates. TalentDo you consider yourself entrepreneurial? Does the challenge of helping build a tech-based company into something great excite you? Bring your virtual resumé and come ready to network with some of Nova Scotia’s up-and-coming technology companies.The start-ups we spoke to are looking for individuals skilled in computer science (developers), data science, mathematics, research, engineering (embedded, chemical, electrical), machine learning, oceanography, marketing and sales, business development and the sciences. However, if you have experience with, or a sharp mind for, technology in general, and are keen on the idea of working for a small, trailblazing company, you should come too!The virtual event will be conducted through Remo. Remo is an interactive virtual event platform that humanizes the online event experience, and brings people together worldwide.Agenda4:15 pm: Welcome and software overview4:20 pm: Co-op program overview4:25 pm: Company introductions4:45 pm: NetworkingStart-Ups/Companies Presenting3F Waste Recovery (Main Brook, NL) develops and manufactures high value natural ingredients from the fish, farm and forest waste of Newfoundland and Labrador.Aimsir Technologies (Montreal, QC) aims to capture ocean-based weather information to significantly improve weather forecast accuracy by retrofitting vessels around the world with Automatic Weather Stations.Ashored (Halifax, NS) is developing sustainable enabling technologies for the commercial fishing industry.
