THE OCEAN is an arena for new discoveries, connections and collaborations across ocean industries and academia for the sustainable use of the oceans. This two-day event will host presentations and Q&A sessions with various researchers, corporate heads, investors, entrepreneurs, innovators, and government representatives.

For the first time, THE OCEAN will be a hybrid event. It will be held at Bergen’s Grieghallen for a limited capacity and simultaneously live-streamed.

This year’s conference will revolve around three key themes:  

“Ocean Wealth: Policy, taxonomy, market, and value creation”, focused on investment and regulatory needs to ensure a sustainable ocean economy.

“Ocean Health: Sustainable use of ocean resources”, highlighting environmental challenges and solutions for today’s ocean industries. 

“Ocean Knowledge: Competence and collaboration” exploring how science and commerce can collaborate to create new methods and technologies to sustainably use ocean resources.
