Global Blue Economy Innovation Initiatives Network : Register for Ongoing Participation
This WOC international forum brings together the growing number of ocean-sustainability related accelerators, incubators, challenge competitions and startup hubs, and works to:
- Better connect innovation initiatives and their clients, e.g. startups, to the market, i.e. ocean business and industry
- Increase investment community awareness of the initiatives/organizations and their outputs, i.e. startups, scaleups, etc. by linking Network participants to the WOC Ocean Investor group
- Increase the focus of innovation initiatives on core sustainable development challenges/issues facing ocean industries
- Foster communication, coordination and the exchange of best practices among the initiatives and organizations
- Catalyze synergies among ocean sustainability-related innovation initiatives and organizations

The WOC is now working to formalize the Innovation Initiatives Network in order to:
- Ensure we have standardized information on Network participants
- Consistently and correctly communicate with Network participants
