The Department of Industry, Energy and Technology is supporting 11 Newfoundland and Labrador businesses and organizations as they participate in Oceanology International 2024 from March 12-14. Oceanology International is a leading forum in which industry, academia and government can share knowledge, showcase and connect with the world’s marine science and ocean technology communities and developments.
The Honourable Andrew Parsons, KC, Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, today announced approximately $31,000 to support the Newfoundland and Labrador delegation attending the show. The delegation includes econext, Edgewise Environmental Consultancy, eDNAtec, eSonar, GRI Simulations, Oceans Advance, Pan-Maritime Energy Services, SubC Imaging, Training Works, Whitecap Scientific and The Launch at Memorial University.
These companies and organizations are a part of a pan-Atlantic delegation supported by the Atlantic Trade and Investment Growth Agreement. They will join the Canadian contingent at Oceanology International in London, United Kingdom, where they will explore business development opportunities, expand markets and collaborate to increase profitability. As an organizing partner for the Atlantic Canadian delegation, representatives from the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology will also be in attendance.
Newfoundland and Labrador is a global leader in technology and innovations for harsh marine environments. We have world-class research facilities conducting advanced ocean research, a well-connected and supportive technological ecosystem, and a skilled marine workforce. It is an ideal place to develop, test, and bring new ocean technologies to market.
