Da organização:
Governments and businesses across the world are increasingly looking to the oceans as a key source of economic growth, job creation and investment. But the hazards of this increased economic activities pose very real threats to the oceans. Amidst this conflict, the vision of a ‘blue economy’ emerges, offering a scenario in which economic activity is balanced by responsible investment into the ocean. Yet there is a clear disconnect between reality and this ideal. Traditional businesses dependent on the ocean face squeezed margins at the prospect of funding their transition from conventional business models to blue, sustainable practices. How can profit-seeking entities be incentivized to transform into blue-friendly businesses? TIME TO INNOVATE
The Ocean Innovation Challenge calls for pioneering minds to offer solutions which actively alleviate this tension between growth and sustainability. We invite scalable, economically viable and environmentally sustainable innovations that strive to create or enhance business practices, industries or technologies that contribute to the long-term health of our ocean.
