This consortium will deliver activate oceans, a collaboration which integrates two best-in-class programs the activate fellowship and propellers ocean MBA into one comprehensive offering that is tailor-made to support early-stage startups commercializing critical oceans-based climate resilience technologies. The proposed program will support startups developing technologies in ocean renewable energy, coast and ocean carbon sequestration monitoring and accounting, maritime decarbonization, and desalination technologies with the funding, network, mentorship, research facilities, education, and community they need to continue building toward commercial scale. Phase I will include activities related to scoping, planning, and designing activate oceans. Phase II will support commercialization of approximately 100 ocean-climate startups over four years: about 25 per year via propellers ocean MBA, of which about 10 will also receive full activate oceans fellowships.
