# 1000 Ocean Startups Community

Connect, engage, and discover how the 1000 Ocean Startups community works together to advance ocean innovation


## Connecting the ocean innovation ecosystem

Ocean innovation does not progress in isolation. It requires coordinated support across the full innovation lifecycle—from research and venture building, to early capital, growth finance, and market deployment.Within 1000OS, the coalition has built a foundation of trust through active collaboration. To sustain and scale this momentum, this collaborative spirit must extend to industry, capital providers, and institutions engaging with ocean ventures. 1000OS connects these ocean actors into a structured ecosystem where collaboration is intentional and innovation is supported from concept to deployment.Photo: Site visit during the 2025 Annual Gathering, where the 1000OS Community convenes to collaborate and to forge new pathways for ocean innovation.
