From Launch to Activation
Following the successful launch of Ocean Community Sweden in Stockholm on 26 August, we are moving from establishing connections to activating collaboration and turning opportunities into action.
Sweden brings together world-class capabilities in ocean science, technology, industry, entrepreneurship and investment. Ocean Community connects these strengths to accelerate ocean-positive innovation, strengthen industry collaboration and open pathways to Nordic and global opportunities.
The Ocean Community Assembly
The Ocean Community Assembly is our recurring platform for bringing Sweden's Ocean Innovation Ecosystem together through four interconnected gatherings each year: LAUNCH, ACTIVATE, BUILD and ACCELERATE.
Each Assembly builds on the previous one, creating continuity between shared priorities, partnerships and tangible progress. Together, they provide a platform for developing and advancing the 2027 Ocean Innovation Roadmap and connecting opportunities across our Ocean Innovation Arenas, convening the expertise, industry capabilities and capital needed to bring more solutions to market.
OCEAN COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY 02
At ACTIVATE on 26 November, we will sweep our arenas for opportunities, dive into priorities, activate capital orchestration and continue to mobilise collaboration.
We Build What Comes Next. Together.
Ocean Community brings the platform, connections and opportunities.
Ocean Innovation Arenas provide a structure for turning shared ambitions into projects, partnerships and pathways to market.
Assemblies bring the ecosystem together to engage and build what comes next.
Memberships enable individuals and organisations to help shape priorities, contribute expertise and take part in projects through the Ocean Innovation Arenas.
