You will hear from several ocean tech startups focused on sensors and robotics during brief presentations, and have the opportunity to network with founders, partners and mentors. The Ocean Startup Project and SeaAhead will also highlight key assets and resources available to support ocean innovation.

Agenda

Opening Remarks and Presentations

• SeaAhead
• Ocean Startup Project
• Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship (COVE)

Company Presentations

• In Nature Robotics designs and manufactures lightweight, low-cost, solar-powered, autonomous airboats for inland and coastal water monitoring and surveying applications. Their boats are built to be simple and straightforward to operate, easy for users to customize with add-on equipment, and reliable in operation.
• Marecomms Inc. designs and builds robust and broadband wireless communication solutions for maritime environments. Their first underwater wireless communication product, RObust Acoustic Modem (ROAM), has been put to numerous tests in challenging ocean environments in the North Atlantic and shown to offer nearly 200 times faster connection speeds than the existing solutions with significantly enhanced reliability.
• WeavAir provides an end-to-end hardware and software solution for vessel emission monitoring by using predictive algorithms that promote regulation compliance and operation costs savings for ship owners, ship managers and port operation teams.
• SeaHawk Robotics develops and operates multi-domain UAV-based ocean observation systems that disrupt current paradigms by improving access, increasing safety, and reducing costs of data collection.
• H2Ok Innovations is an IoT-enabled containment management platform helping water-dependent businesses and communities optimize water quality and treatment through predictive diagnostics.
• SeaDeep is a provider of multi-modal ocean imaging, data visualization, and analytics. SeaDeep is a provider of multi-modal ocean imaging, data visualization, and analytics. SeaDeep is developing an application to enhance, visualize, and analyze ocean data for the characterization of benthic sites. SeaDeep’s technology can create environmental models that are extremely high fidelity and provide enhancements in characterization, monitoring, and visualization of underwater sites.
• Open Ocean Robotics makes solar powered autonomous boats providing real time information to protect our oceans. The information they collect can protect at-risk whale species, allow ships to find more fuel efficient routes, crack down on illegal fishing, and better understand the impacts of climate change.
• Rapid Subsea Inc. focuses on developing highly optimized robotic inspection platforms with connected web-based data back ends. Their AUV is an underwater robotic autonomous IOT solution that will minimize loss of fish through frequent and complete imaging of fish nets to ensure the rapid repair of holes.
