Being a voting delegate at Ocean Exchange reminded me why I do this work—watching students and industry leaders alike push the boundaries of what’s possible for ocean health and the blue economy. Deep thanks to Moffatt & Nichol for supporting our time and commitment.
Expansion News
New for 2026, Ocean Exchange is expanding its global reach.
Same mission. Same trusted process. Same extraordinary ecosystem.—now delivered through a growing network of Ocean Exchange events worldwide.
Rather than concentrating all activities into a single event, we are bringing the Ocean Exchange process directly to innovation ecosystems around the world through a series of smaller, highly targeted programs.
These regional Ocean Exchange events will leverage the same extensive global network of innovators, investors, industry leaders, researchers, and ocean advocates that have made Ocean Exchange successful. Participants will benefit from the same rigorous evaluation process, access to our distinguished review team, and opportunities to connect with a world-class community dedicated to advancing solutions for healthy oceans and sustainable blue economies.
By creating focused regional events, we can engage more innovators where they live and work, highlight solutions relevant to local challenges and opportunities, and foster stronger connections among stakeholders within each ecosystem. These events will serve as gateways into the broader Ocean Exchange network, providing innovators with access to expertise, partnerships, visibility, and potential funding opportunities on a global scale.
