The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $13,900,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) program (CFDA 11.012) to Tampa Bay Wave Inc., a non-profit organization. The Cooperative Agreement titled "THE CONTINUUM, A COORDINATED OCEAN-BASED CLIMATE RESILIENCE NETWORK OF ACCELERATORS" will run from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028. The project aims to break down barriers that prevent startups from commercializing ocean-based climate resilience solutions by providing a comprehensive support ecosystem. This includes robust acceleration and pilot programs, mentorship, investor connections, and resources to help innovators scale their data-driven blue economy solutions nationally and globally. The Cooperative Agreement combines the expertise and resources of two previous IOOS awards to Tampa Bay Wave Inc., creating an integrated, interregional model to support entrepreneurs at all stages of their journey.
