Celebrating Ocean Innovation – Reception
An evening to celebrate the exponential collaboration scaling ocean solutions globally!
For invited guests only
The 3 rd UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) is a significant milestone for the 1000 Ocean Startups community with much to celebrate. To date, 1000OS members have surpassed the half-way point of the 1000 start-up target, collectively supporting more than 550 early-stage companies working to protect and restore ocean health while building the future of the blue economy. In addition, a significant part of the global ocean impact innovation and investment community will be present in Nice for UNOC3.
1000 Ocean Startups, with support from Builders Vision, Katapult Ocean, the Port of San Diego, OceanHub Africa, the 1000OS Asia-Pacific Community, and Salesforce and SUEZ, invite the ocean innovation community to join us aboard the iconic Statsraad Lehmkuhl for an evening to celebrate the exponential collaboration scaling ocean solutions globally.
