Meet the Innovators

Meet the Innovators is intended to allow representatives of individual companies to pitch their respective innovative solutions and/or sustainable business models to the participants at Our Ocean.

The series of talks will take place in the mingling/exhibition area outside the plenary hall. This will allow us to give a stage to smaller innovative companies that are not necessarily able to present large commitments but who have solutions that may have a large impact.
