Ocean tech is critical to the climate transition or as KPMG would put it, we can’t go green without blue. Our lakes and oceans are the most important carbon sinks and provide 80% of the oxygen we breathe in daily. Nearly 40% of the world’s population relies on marine activity and coastal biodiversity for their livelihood.
The Ocean tech sector is on an exponential growth path and it’s only the beginning. According to Startup Genome, the Blue Economy intersects with Cleantech, AI & Big Data, Agtech & New Food, Transportation, and many others. The momentum has begun and there are tremendous opportunities for startups and investors to both drive change and reap fair returns. With a value of $3 trillion USD by 2030, you can’t afford to overlook it.
