Welcome to the Nordic Ocean Opportunity Demo Day!
Join us in Helsinki to meet the first graduates of the Nordic Ocean Accelerator Programme, an accelerator for ambitious ocean economy companies. Ventures from across the globe take the stage to show what they have built, where they are headed and who they need to get there.
These ventures are tackling challenges that reach well beyond the ocean: cleaner shipping, resilient food systems, new energy and strategic materials from the sea. Now they are looking for investors, industry partners and pilot customers to scale with.
If you are an investor, a corporate or an ecosystem partner, this is where you learn more about the Nordic Ocean Opportunity and meet the next generation of Nordic ocean ventures, before everyone else does.

About the Nordic Ocean Accelerator Programme

It connects founders with experts, investors, industry partners and the wider Nordic ecosystem, and focuses on the real challenges of growth: business strategy, commercialisation, investment readiness, partnerships and scaling. No equity is taken from participating companies.
The programme is run by the Nordic Ocean Cluster Accelerator (NOCA), a Nordic collaboration led by A’Pelago together with Nordic ecosystem partners.
