Building the Future of Ocean Technology

Nova Scotia is a world leader in ocean science technology, but how can we engineer even more company success stories.

Find out over breakfast on Friday, May 19, 2017, at the Technology Innovation Centre (webcast to a group gathered at Navigate Startup House in Sydney).  

Our gathering will feature three engineers-turned business-leaders from thriving local ocean technology ventures.  They'll tell you about local and international trends in ocean innovation and how Nova Scotia stacks up internationally.  Plus they'll offer an insider's perspective on running successful, export-focused ocean technology companies while calling Nova Scotia home.
