Thought leaders, innovators, and change makers will gather at the Ocean Innovation Conference to learn, explore, and vision new solutions for our ocean and waterways.
From climate change to overfishing to pollution, many problems must be addressed to protect our ocean. Entrepreneurs, universities, and governments are focusing on "what's next" in protecting the ocean.
But even greater than that, we must protect our ocean and waterways to protect our community and the happiness, creativity, and romance that water provides for us as individuals.
Attend this conference to explore how those in Southeast North Carolina and others are embracing the opportunity to protect our ocean. We will reflect on current ocean trends and challenges, grow the local economy and improve livelihoods by protecting the ocean and increasing innovation. Throughout the day, there will be discussions of our blue ecosystem in the region, advancements in ocean-based innovation and technology, opportunities for investment in these innovations, and endeavors to preserve the precious resources of our oceans. You'll have a chance to meet startup founders, nonprofits, and support organizations first hand at the Innovation Fair.
