Ocean Startup's Lab2Market Oceans Program

The Ocean Startup Project's Lab2Market Oceans program gives university research teams from across the country the skills they need to explore their ocean research idea in a new way and identify commercial opportunities (e.g., startup creation, licensing, partnering with industry) over seven weeks. It encourages researchers to take their findings beyond the typical academic path and into the world of innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialization. At the end of the program, Lab2Market Oceans participants will have the entrepreneurial skills and competencies needed to understand the next steps of their research commercialization path. That path can be to create a research-based company, collaborate with an industry partner, or go back to the lab for more development.

Lab2Market Oceans is part of the Ocean Startup Project, hosted by Memorial University, and supported by Springboard Atlantic, Canada's Ocean Supercluster, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), and Mitacs.
